What is Your Windows score

[FireFox]

Luckily the WEI tells nothing about your hardware, my GPU is a 7870, which is not even the highest performance card, but it still got a 7.9 for some reason.

 

lol well I quited liked the WEI though I do take it with a grain of salt

[checkered flag]

3.4:(

[miyabwah]

 

 

Beast specs in my signature.

[piplupgao]

CPU-7.6

RAM-7.7

GG-7.2

Hard Drive 5.9

and I'm on a laptop :P

[mgsstar]

lowest 7.6 (Processor: 4670k)

Graphics, Gaming Graphics, and Primary Hard disk all 7.9

7.7 for ram.

[rctsquared]

Lowest is 7.8 for processor and ram. everything else is 8.2

[Hans Christian | Teri]

7.9, oh well. It really is a useless metric though.

[bradscoolio]

7.7 is my lowest on my cpu (3570k 4.2ghz) the rest 7.9

[danthe1man1989]

6.7 Lowest on hard drive 7.9 on everything else 

[Anubikai]

Core i7 930, 6GB of RAM, GeForce GTX 260, OCZ Vertex 4 SSD, Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB, ASUS Xonar STX.Nothing overclocked. No photoshop.

I'm calling bs on this.....you've obviously edited the file......my 7950 gets 8.1.......how can a gtx 260 get 9.9........also I'm willing to say my 4670k is more powerful than your i7........mine was oc'd when I did the wei to 4.2ghz.....your i7.wouldn't get 9.9......

Even so, this is not an accurate representation of the performance of the performance of your PC. 

[leipero]

well it's my HDD thats bringing me down! :/

Also, overclock your CPU. WEI is really nota ccurate. For example, i can't get score for RAM 7.5 like you do, but i also can't get score for CPU bellow 7.3 (even on 3.6HGz without Turbo Core if i remember correctly), and with light overclock (4.0GHz) score is same 7.3.

 

Example for RAM, if i run my RAM at 1866 with cl10, or 1600 with cl9, in dual channel mode, score is still 7.3, same as at 1333 with cl9. While in AIDA64 and other benchmark programs, difference is in some ways up to 4000+ MB/s.

5.9, don't even need to check

Exactly my point. On my 5 year old laptop, powered by a Qudro NVS 160M, I get a lower score than the Intel integrated graphic 2000, yet the Intel GPU can't handle Win7 smoothly on dual 1080p screens, while the Quadro have 0 problems. Moreover, The Intel intergrated graphics has performance issue with the old Zune software which is GPU rendered interface, and my old GeForce 6600 GT 128MB while has an abysmal score (obviously), draws the porgram interface smoothly above and beyond. So clearly Intel does tricks to boost it's score with it's drivers.

So might as well edit the xml file that has the score... is my point.

5.9, HDD

ive said it isnt the best figure to base perforance on....no need to fake it though...

It is needed to be faked, because it's completely wrong. The benchmark system is not complex enough and not thorough making it easy to do trick the benchmark to boost it's score by the hardware drivers, and no detection of something is wrong, like have the driver ignore drawing everything, and report back to the WEI that all is good, for the 3D visuals, get insane fps, and then you normally get a super high score. Is an example that a graphic card manufacture can boost it's score. With 3D Mark and such, it's a bit harder... because you are watching it... so they can't really cut objects out, or reduce polygon count a bit too much, else you'll notice. It has to do other, more difficult optimization tricks. Plus it has to draw something, as if you see a black screen... you'll see something is wrong and complain.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I have an SSD and a HDD and the windows index score for the primary hard disk is showing the score for the HDD not the SSD

[GoodBytes]

It's because your OS is on your HDD, or that your set that SATA 0 ports, is your HDD and not SSD.

[ravihadz]

8.1 lowest - ssd

8.5 - gpu

8.3 - ram

8.3 - processor

:)

My OS is on my SSD. Is there a way to fix this?

[GoodBytes]

Make sure your SSD is on SATA0 port on your motherboard. So shutdown your computer, and swamp cables.

Windows 8.1 doesnt have a Windows Experience Index..

I had a 7.8 in windows 7.. because CPU is that score the rest was 7.9 i believe..

because to get CPU to 7.9 you would need dual intel Xeon processors OC'd to like 5Ghz.

 

I dont have that i have just the 3930k :P

[Whiskers]

Base score: 3.2

 

Processor: 5.1

Memory: 5.1

Graphics: 3.7

Gaming graphics: 3.2

Primary Hard Disk: 5.5

 

Hm. I expected lower. Intel integrated graphics, 2GB DDR2 RAM and a dual-core Pentium @2GHz... graphics might as well read 0.0. This thing can't even reach 30 fps in Minecraft with lowest settings...

[GoodBytes]

Like I said, Intel does tricks to get a higher score. Hence why I showed that you might as well edit that xml file containing the score, as the WEI is meaningless. While cheating on benchmark is nothing new. Both Nvidia and AMD does effort to optimize for the best score. The things is that if you see much reduction in polygons or effects not being rendered, you would notice, with 3DMark, or what ever GPU benchmark software. In the case of Windows, you don't see it. So the driver can detect the benchmark of Windows, and go "nha.. don't draw anything.. let's just have a black screen to render and get 500fps, so that the score is max on the gaming and graphic scoring". And it does (ok not to that extent, else it would be obvious), but my Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M 256MB on my laptop (it's equivalent to  a GeForce 9300M but with 256MB of memory, instead of shared), has a lower score that what you have. However, in gaming world, and dual screen world, my Nvidia GPU beats the Intel integrated graphics of 2000, no doubt about it.
