Limitations

Novabench does not take advantage of AMD CrossFireX or SLI during graphics testing on Windows, although dual-GPU testing does work on Mac.5 It also does not test secondary, 3rd, 4th, etc. hard drives; it only tests the system (primary) drive. Windows XP and below are no longer supported with version 3.0.4, and in Novabench 4.0, only Windows 7 and up will be supported.6
