Modern computer Système has so much performance that even a three year old Système would satisfy most people's daily needs, including browsing internet, email, office work, and even photo management. You won't type faster by getting a faster Système. Thus, the regular benchmarks which measures Général Système performance don't matter anymore.

Certainly, there are exceptions, including gaming, anti-virus scan, and Vidéo-related work. For the best gaming performance, a powerful Vidéo card is often more important than CPU. Anti-virus scanning is time-consuming. However, scanning speed is mostly determined by the hard drive speed, not CPU. The CPU usage often stays under 30% during a scan.Thus, the only time consuming task which is still CPU intensive is Vidéo compression. It affects people everyday - encode Vidéo for iPod, PMC, Zen; burn DVD; encode Vidéo for websites etc.

Many Système testers already do some kind of Vidéo compression benchmark. They use a variety of software for measuring the speed. However, those software are expensive and impossible for normal user to obtain. Thus, the benchmarking is limited in scope and you cannot benchmark your Système to compare to a published result. ViMark is free. You don't need to buy expensive software just to see if your Système is performing well. ViMark is easy. It does require QuickTime and DirectX. Other than those two standard Vidéo related Système components, there is no extra codec Télécharger. Run ViMark and you will get your result in minutes.ViMark is a uniformed benchmark. Want to compare your result with other people? Submit to ViMark website and you can easily compare to reuslts running the same CPU or same OS.ViMark helps you to tune your performance. If you see your own result is substantially lower than others who use the same CPU and OS, you know there is a problem. Discuss with others in our discussion forum. It helps you to tune your Système for the best performance.
