PerformanceTest 9.0

What's new in this version:

PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1035
- Fixed a crash at startup on some systems when collecting SMBIOS system information


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1034
- Fixed some display issues when collecting system information for graphics cards:
- on systems with integrated & discrete cards in some cases multiple entries were displayed
- monitors were not assigned to the correct video card
- some Nvidia cards were not being saved in the baseline correctly


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1033
- Fixed a crash on startup when collecting graphics system infromation


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1032
- Fixed an issue when trying to print in windows 10
- Fixed a crash on start up that could occur on Intel Baytrail systems due to an invalid MSR read
- Made some changes to try and stop crashes during the advanced disk IOPS test when the hard drive is failing/responding abnormally
- Fixed a bug with the save results as image function being impacted by the scroll bar on normal graph displays (would only save as many results as were displayed)
- Added more information to "Could not reset the Direct3D device" error


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1031
- Baseline management: added max cpu/3d/disk scores to advanced baseline search windows. Will now force a min and max score entry (with a differnence no larger than 1000) when doing a search based only on a cpu/3d/disk score.
- Removed Nvidia G-Sync check before submitting baseline results as the Nvidia API was not reliable and could indicate G-Sync was enabled on systems that did not support it
- Fixed a bug in the DX12 test where it would not always choose the video card with the largest amount of RAM


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1030
- System information library updated to support Radeon RX 590, support for retrieving CPU info for Intel Goldmont


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1029
- Fixed a crash that could occur during the disk test


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1028
- Fixed a bug when enumerating display modes for the DX10 test where no compatible card would be found if there was a large amount (>500) of display modes
- Updated temperature offsets for some AMD Ryzen CPUs to make the temperatures more accurate


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1027
- Updated system information library to fix a crash that could occur on Windows 10 Enterprise with device guard enabled on some AMD systems


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1026
- Fixed a crash that could occur in the Advanced Disk Drive Performance test when a call to get the drive information failed
- Changed advanced memory test to allocate up to 25% of system ram (previously would limit to 2GB)
- Fixed a crash that could occur when adding a large amount of baselines at once using the baseline management window


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1025
Fixed an issue with NUMA settings when selecting a processor using a different node to the one the PerformanceTest EXE was running on
Fixed a crash that could occur at startup due to a buffer overflow when downloading updated chart data


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1024
- Made a change so that the high powered card on dual graphics card systems is displayed in the "your card vs" comparisons
- Advanced Drive Test, fixed freeze bug when filesize is larger than the maximum allowed per the drive's filesystem.
- Advanced Drive Test, Widen the rows on the table and updated displayed precision for Latency Read/Write tests (will show microseconds, us, instead of ms where applicable). This is important when benchmarking very low latency RAM drives.
- Advanced Drive Test, Improved test consistency. Previously the creation of the test file and the the actual test period could overlap on some disk systems due to caching. This could cause a slow start to the test. If a drive respects caching directives this shoould no longer happen.
- Fixed openCL test crashing/not displaying an error message when no openCL library is available
- Added monitor DPI to baseline information
- Updated system information library to correctly report details about new hardware


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1023
- Made some changes so test scores greater than 0 but less than 1 are rounded up to 1 when displayed (to avoid them showing as 0)
- Added a new example baselines to reflect newer hardware on the market
- Started displaying text scaling factor / DPI settings in the with video card information. The DPI setting can impact the 2D results (more pixels to move around means slower 2D at high DPI)


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1022
- Fixed a crash that could occur when exporting a test graph (eg advanced memory test) to an image
- Fixed a bug in the Advanced memory test where NUMA settings were not being taken into account for memory latency and block size testing
- Fixed a crash that could occur in the memory latency test


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1021
- Fixed the naming of some AMD RX 560 cards when they share the same device ID as the RX 460
- Updated help to a new format to allow opening and display of current topic on Win10 systems


PerformanceTest 9.0 Build 1020
- Added a 64bit build of the DX12 test executable which will be launched on 64bit systems
