| PC Status | Overall this PC is performing below expectations (21st percentile). This means that out of 100 PCs with exactly the same components, 79 performed better. The overall PC percentile is the average of each of its individual components. Use the charts in the benchmark sections of this report to identify problem areas. |
| Processor | With a relatively low single core score, this CPU can handle email, light web browsing and basic audio/video playback, but it will struggle to handle CPU intensive tasks. Finally, with a gaming score of 31.3%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is poor. |
| Graphics | 0.59% is too low to play 3D games or use CAD packages. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics) |
| Memory | 4GB is enough RAM to run any version of Windows and although it's sufficient for most games, some will benefit from up to 8GB of RAM. 4GB is also enough for modest file and system caches which allow for a responsive system. |
| OS Version | Windows 10 is the most recent version of Windows, and the best to date in our opinion. |
Very high background CPU (77%). High background CPU reduces benchmark accuracy. How to reduce background CPU.
