What BAPCo SYSmark 30 is
BAPCo SYSmark 30 is paid Windows software that measures and compares PC performance with real-world applications and workloads. Its scenarios cover Office Applications, General Productivity, Photo Editing, and Advanced Content Creation. Workloads include web browsing, file compression, application installation, photo management and manipulation, and photo and video editing while multitasking. Individual scenarios can run separately, but all scenarios are required for an overall score. Results connect with BAPCo’s comparison database and are consolidated into one file, with PDF and XML export formats. The interface uses a click-and-run design and supports dark mode. Command-line use and automation are available for repeatable runs. It requires Windows 10 64-bit version 19043 or newer, or Windows 11 64-bit 21H2 or newer.
