New Passmark v. 10 test shows in 10....20 times less in 2D graphics rating for E3-1225 v2 and HD6670 is Windows 7
Same in PT v. 9.0

Some 2D test scores and the 2D mark value in older versions of Windows (eg Windows 7) will be far lower in PerformanceTest V10 as it isn't possible to scale meaningfully when multiple tests can't be run.
Newer versions of Windows have added more available 2D drawing APIs such as PDF and SVG rendering functions. These are built into Win10 but missing completely from Win7.
The PDF and SVG test will not be able to run in Windows 7 at all due to missing Windows API functions. Also modern 2D graphics (e.g. in browser rendering) is more often using DirectX to display the image. The performance advantage of DirectX over traditional 2D GDI functions can be very dramatic (often over 10x). So parts of the Image Filters and Image Rendering tests may not be able to run in Windows 7 if DX11 is installed and a DX11 compatible video card is being used.
So machines with Win7 without a DX11 video card are going to look pretty awful compared to hardware accelerated 2D.
It's really the beginning of the end for Win7.
But the V9 download is still on our web site. So you can continue on with the older release on Win7 if you prefer.
