WorldBench overall performance
WorldBench uses scripting to step through a series of tasks in common Windows applications. It then produces an overall score. WorldBench also spits out individual results for its component application tests, allowing us to compare performance in each. We'll look at the overall score, and then we'll show individual application results alongside the results from some of our own application tests.

The Raptor X leads the pack in WorldBench, bettering its predecessor's score by a full two points. Let's break down WorldBench's overall score into individual results to see where the Raptor X gained the most ground.
Multimedia editing and encoding
MusicMatch Jukebox

Windows Media Encoder

Adobe Premiere

VideoWave Movie Creator

While it manages to lead the field throughout WorldBench's multimedia editing and encoding tests, the Raptor X really only distinguishes itself in Premiere. Even then, the WD740GD is right on its heels.
