Vivaldi on modest older hardware
-
Looks like we cross-posted.
Those zero figures are interesting
I think it means unfinished tests.
When I run the test on old machines, in the worst case, I get 1, not 0.

That also could be right, as Desidevil's vivaldi://gpu result appears not to have finished (ends with "… loading ..."), and mine ends with "…The GPU process exited normally. Everything is okay".

How long does it takes to complete the test?I have left it running for half hour now with same result(stuck at loading).I think the test will not finish as my PC hardware is not supported.Anyways I have left it running for some more time,and post here if it finishes.

Didn't you notice in the docs it takes at least 24 hours to complete?
No, seriously, I just ran it on this same machine 3 time and each time before i could scroll to the bottom it ended at 340 lines with the following 2 ines:
[6340:7076:0422/035124:ERROR:logger.cc(46)] : Too many GL errors, not reporting any more for this context. use –disable-gl-error-limit to see all errors.
[6340:8108:0422/054955:ERROR:ipc_channel_win.cc(412)] : pipe error: 232So that's different than what I posted before. I've gotta go right now, so I can't check it out any more right now, but like you, I'll post back later if I learn anything more.
(I'm sure The_Solutor will have a better idea on older hardware, though.)

Ms guys had an even better idea. They removed the assessment tests from the GUI in win 8.1 and win 10.
Tests are available only from command prompt now.

You can use the command prompt also in older Windows, so just try it and see what happens.

I hope you're joking when you say that's a better idea!
(Seems totally at odd with the GUI orientation of Windows.)
At any rate, thanks for posting the link, and I'm glad somebody posted a batch file in the comments to automate the process. Have you tried that batch file? Does it work?
Edit: PS: What I meant was that I thought you would have a better idea why Desidevil's vivaldi://gpu test is not completing on his older hardware.

It's also doing well on a Lenovo Thinkpad with Windows 7 Home Premium on a Core 2 duo T5450 @ 167GHz and 3 GB of PC2 5300 SDRAM @ 667 MHz.
What are your WEI subscores for that machine? (Computer > Properties)
I bet 1GB more RAM on mine (to match your 3GB) would make a big difference in how many tabs I can use comfortably, but your RAM is also a lot faster than mine, and I bet the SSD makes a nice difference. I think I already mentioned this someplace (maybe in this thread), but I could upgrade the two 1GB chips in this machine to two 2GB chips and probably get along fine, but that older RAM is more pricey now (seems like it was gonna cost about $80 last time I checked) and this is a friend's throwaway laptop with a dead screen (given to me). Hardly worth it on my limited budget.

Overall 3.1The first-run screen was actually pretty smooth, I'm surprised. Let's see ... System says it's a measly 1 GHz AMD C-70 with 2 GB RAM and built-in Radeon graphics
