Passmark Rating Score

[loneking213]

I know I received a good score but what does that mean exactly? This is my first benchmark test. http://www.passmark.com/baselines/V9/display.php?id=77865633473

One way you can do with the score is to compare it with similar systems, or get some idea of how big a difference there is between now and something you wanna upgrade later.

^This.

That's pretty much all you can do with benchmark scores.

It's respectable. Your CPU score is quite decent, but your Graphics score is dismal.

Why are there 12GB RAM inside?

8GB stick + 4GB stick.

I know, but why.

Thats not how someone should operate his system.
Thats not dualchannel and will most likely be a performance problem sooner or later. (or you just cannot get 100% of the power the system would be capable of)

Not something you should expect from someone who has no clue what to do with benchmark results in the first place will understand right away. Many less dedicated system builder just put together whatever that fits, and perhaps speed and performance isn't their main concern.

I bought it like that last year. They are the "stock" RAM. I would upgrade to 16Gbs but I don't have money at the moment. I know having two 8Gb RAM sticks is better.

I would like to have speed and performance though as I plan to have this PC for a while longer before moving on to another one. I've read up on building one so that shouldn't be a problem.

Alright. Which is better to upgrade first, GPU or RAM? Or maybe even my CPU?

Ok. Thanks!

I've been playing BF1 and Battlefront on Ultra perfectly fine lately but I would like to keep maxing out triple A games on Ultra. I want to get everything out of my PC lol before building one down the road.

GPU first, then RAM. I wouldn't upgrade the CPU, it's a current-gen Intel Quadcore - base model or not it's still better than the majority of gaming PCs out there.

post your rig, maybe u don't need a completly new build.. coz looks like u already have a skylake board..
but tbh, gpu first, I would sell the gtx 960, 128bit gpu isn't the best if u wanna go for AAA maxed out.

Oh damn, I didn't realize the CPU was that good. I'll save up some money than for a new GPU. After that I'll work on getting the new RAM sticks. Thanks for the help :)

I have an HP Envy 750-114 My Specs are as follows

Windows 10 64 Bit


6th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU Socket 1151 LGA Skylake 14nm Technology @ 2.70GHz(Turbo Boost at 3.32 GHz), 2712 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

12GB Dual-Channel DDR3 RAM

EVGA GeForce GTX 960 FTW 2GB GDDR5


Thermaltake TR2 600W

Samsung 850 Pro 128GB SSD
1 TB Western Digital WD My Passport 25E1 USB SSD


Motherboard: HP 2B47(U3E1)

My motherboard isn't the best(A gaming motherboard) but it gets the job done without any problems whatsoever. I know the TR2 is bad but it's doing really good so far so I don't plan on changing it yet.

What your budget for GPU?

I would say the price of a GTX 1080 and below. But I wouldn't buy it right away. Money is tight at the moment.
