PassMark Software, the development company, first released PerformanceTest in 1998. The program is written in C++ and uses low-level APIs to interact directly with the hardware. The company, based in Australia, specializes in diagnostic and benchmarking tools. PerformanceTest has been regularly updated to include new technologies such as NVMe, DirectX 12, and multi-core processors. The current version supports Windows from 7 to 11, on both x86 and x64 architectures.
