Unit 2 D2

Unit 2 D2

2011 Intel i7 with 580 gtx graphics

The only downfall of this computer system is the relatively low score it received in terms of hardware tests, the score received was 18.
-Primary partition capacity: 932 GB
-Drive write speed: 143 MB/s

This could be replaced in order to increase the overall Nova Bench score of the computer system. 
All of the components of this computer system scored very highly, however the hardware tests did not go so well, and if this was replaced, the computer systems performance would be even better.
If the hardware of this computer system was improved it would reduce the possibility of the computer system from having any faults. The hardware would continuously function with no issues and using the computer system would be much easier if the hardware tests score was higher.
Less time would be wasted replacing hardware and attempting to fix hardware if the hardware was replaced. A lot of issues would be avoided is the hardware was replaced on this computer system. After replacing the hardware, a Nova Bench test should be run again to see the increase in the Nova Bench score.

The Mac OS X computer system received a higher Nova Bench score for the system RAM. If the system RAM on the 2011 Intel i7 with 580 gtx graphics was improved, it would give it another further advantage over all over computer systems. The Mac OS X only has the edge on system RAM, therefore improvements should be made in order to defeat all competitors to the 2011 Intel i7 with 580 gtx graphics. If the system RAM was improved, the computer system would therefore have more memory and it would be much quicker, therefore i believe that the system RAM should be improved, however it isn't drastically important as there is not much difference between the two computer systems in terms of system RAM.
If the system RAM speed was faster there would be no negative reviews on he speed of the computer, although the RAM speed is high, there is always room for improvement.

There are no other improvements that are required as there is no competitors for this computer system. All other aspects of this computer system are brilliant and therefore there is no need to make negative comments in regards to other components of the computer system.

The total Nova Bench score for this computer system is 1943, which is the highest score i have yet identified within all computer systems. This means that most of the components of the computer system are functioning incredibly well, and are a high quality.


This computer system received a score of 175 for its RAM system. It has a RAM speed of 11339 MB/s.
175 as a considerably high RAM score in comparison to other computer systems, thus being a positive of this computer system.


The CPU tests score for this computer system totaled up to 796 which is a phenomenal score. The CPU tests score can be broken down into three section;
-Floating point operations/second: 210561168
-Integer operations/second: 914180192
-MD5 Hashes generate/second: 1265105
This is all in tact which can easily be identified due to its huge contribution to the overall Nova Bench score. Al of these can happen many times per second which shows you that the computer system's CPU is in tact.


The graphics tests for this computer system went very well, it scored a brilliant score of 954, which is by far the highest graphics test score i have been able to identify. The graphics test score contributed massively to the over all Nova Bench score.
-3D Frames per second: 2485
These scores are brilliant and therefore this computer system has no competitors in terms of graphics.


The only downfall of this computer system is the relatively low score it received in terms of hardware tests, the score received was 18.
-Primary partition capacity: 932 GB
-Drive write speed: 143 MB/s
This could be replaced in order to increase the overall Nova Bench score of the computer system. All of the components of this computer system scored very highly, however the hardware tests did not go so well, and if this was replaced, the computer systems performance would be even better.
