Lightweight Test measures the capabilities of entry level systems unable to run the full PCMark test.Entertainment Test measures system performance in entertainment, media and gaming scenarios.Creativity Test measures performance in creativity scenarios involving images and video.Computation test focuses on computation performance of the system (CPU, GPGPU).PCMark Test measures overall system performance and returns an official PCMark score.The benchmark is consisted out of 25 tests divided into seven tests: Futuremark decided for such move in order to ensure complete system optimization across the board – regardless of what hardware you run, Windows 7 should yield apples-to-apples results. Given that the last PCMark worked on Windows Vista alone (runs on Windows 7 too), don’t be too surprised to hear that the only OS that can run PCMark 7 is – Microsoft Windows 7, of course. According to Oliver "Ollie" Baltuch, president of Futuremark Corporation, the company decided to delay the launch due to last-minute fixes and tweaks in order to ensure stability of performance results. PCMark 10 shows the correct dedicated VRAM in these cases.Originally planned for May 3 release, Futuremark delayed the long awaited system benchmark to this Thursday, May 12, 2011. The only exceptions are integrated GPUs in the Intel Iris Pro and Radeon Vega M series that feature real dedicated VRAM. Contact the vendor of your integrated GPU for more details. The value can vary between systems even with the same integrated GPU as the value is set by the BIOS. However, hardware vendors have configured these systems to say that they have dedicated video RAM-usually a value between 32 MB and 256 MB-to improve compatibility with legacy applications that refuse to start if there is no dedicated VRAM. Integrated GPUs have 0 MB of dedicated video RAM. There is no dedicated VRAM present on these systems at all. PCMark 10 displays the value supplied by the system, but the value for the vast majority of integrated GPUs is actually not true.
