Application and Game Tests

Application Benchmark

CINEBENCH is the free benchmarking tool based on the powerful 3D software CINEMA 4D. Consequently, the results of tests conducted using CINEBENCH 9.5 carry significant weight when analyzing a computer’s performance in everyday use. Especially a system’s CPU and the OpenGL capabilities of its graphics card are put through their paces (even multiprocessor systems with up to 16 dedicated CPUs or processor cores). During the testing procedure, all relevant data is ascertained with which the performance of different computers can subsequently be compared, regardless of operating system.

This shouldn't come as a surprise, but in Cinebench we see exact the same. there are no differences, performance is on par.

Gaming performance

Now we're going to test a some games on a both high (1280-1024) as on lower (800*600) resolution.

FEAR

To test FEAR we used two different resolutions, with a medium detail level. And with the built in benchmark tool. The results were as good as on par, with a very minimal advantage in favor of the P5K.

Here we played for a few minutes the demo. The used resolution was 800*600 and this with medium details. Higher resolution tests weren't possible. During the test the frames were monitored and logged with FRAPS. The outcome was as expected, about no noticeable difference.
