Since 1996 PC WIZARD is among the most advanced system information programs on the market.
PC WIZARD is a powerful utility designed especially for detection of hardware, but also some more analysis.
It's able to identify a large scale of system components and supports the latest technologies and
standards. This tool is periodically updated (usually once per month) in order to provide most
accurate results.
PC WIZARD is also an utility designed to analyze and benchmark your computer system. It can
analyze and benchmark many kinds of hardware, such as CPU performance, Cache performance, RAM performance, Hard Disk performance,
CD/DVD-ROM performance, Removable/FLASH Media performance, Video performance, MP3 compression performance.
PC WIZARD can be distributed freely (ftp, archives, CD-ROMs ...).

MEMORY and CACHE:
These benchmarks measure the maximum achiveable memory bandwidth.
The code behind these benchmarks method is written in Assembly (x86, SSE, SSE2, SSE3).
Memory benchmarks utilize only one processor core and one thread.
PROCESSOR :
These benchmarks measure performance in terms of Integer Millions of Instructions Per Second (Integer MIPS) and Millions of Floating Point Operations Per Second (MFLOPS).
The code behind these benchmarks method is written in Assembly (x86, x87, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, 3DNOW!).
Processor benchmarks are HyperThreading, multi-processor (SMP) and multi-core (CMP) aware.

Don't forget to check "Use Folder Names" into your UNZIP application to create PC Wizard folders.
- Self-installing EXE package : To install PC Wizard directly on your hard drive.
Commandline Parameters
- Launch PC Wizard in silent mode : no interface appears, the report is automatically created.
- Example : PC Wizard.exe /R T1 C3 c:\reports\report.txt /I
- Result : Save plain text report for Hardware Tab and Processor category only into the c:\reports folder, with detailed information.
- To learn more, see the readme.txt file into the PC Wizard folder.
Special Keys
- The F3 key allows to search if a path has been installed. Just enter the Microsoft KB reference.
- The F5 key allows to refresh information.
- The F10 key copies the current page in the clipboard.
- The F11 key allows to save a screenshot as a .bmp file.
- The F12 allows to save current benchmark results to the database.
- The Right Click allows to display a context menu (on graphic benchmark it allows to save graph as a bitmap).
Special Extras
PC Wizard supports the Logitech G-Series keyboard LCD screen.
To activate this function go to menu Options (Monitoring Tab )and check it.
When you minimize PC Wizard window, CPU information will be displayed into the keyboard LCD screen.
Security
PC Wizard shows passwords only for your personal goal.
No sensitive data is transmitted. No sensitive data is included with any kind of report.
Remove
Go to Control Panel - Add/remove Programs and choose PC Wizard.
Click on Add/Remove button and follow the instructions.
Debug Mode
If PC Wizard freezes or crashes your computer, please try to :
- Launch application with Debug Mode (hold down the ESC key until the SplashScreen appears).
A new file will be created (C:\pcwdbg.log).
Please report it by sending an e-mail with this file (see Contact the authors).
- PC Wizard Settings shows and you can disable the detection of some components, which may cause problems.
Some computers may have problems especially during:
- IDE/ATAPI device direct-access scan.
- SMBus scan.
- GPU i2C device direct-access.
- SuperIO/LPC sensor detection.
- ...
Contact the authors
If you encounter problems, bugs or incompatibilities, please report it by sending an e-mail at
pcwizard@cpuid.com with a brief description.
Please try to include a Report (use Save as... or Send a
