Discrepancies between PT9 and PT10.2 - Passmark Rating and 2D Mark scores

[speak@ae.auone-net.jp]

Hi. Very puzzled. I ran both PT versions on my W10 machine. Ver. 9. gives me a much higher PM rating, as well as a much higher 2D mark rating. Same Windows, same machine. What in the sam hill??!!! Could these be false ratings on PT9 since its an older ver? Please advise, thanks! R0b

A number of changes were made to some of the tests, and while we generally attempt to scale the new results to be similar to the previous version is isn't always possible (eg when testing new functionality), please see this FAQ for more info.

Hi Tim! Ok I see. But which results should I be trusting? I'm not sure I should be re-installing the old ver. PT just so that I can feel warm and fuzzy with better results! :P

But which results should I be trusting

They are all valid, but just testing different things.
