What's being assigned the lowest score?

We need specs of both computers...

Windows is the worst way to measure a computer's performance. They even discontinued it after windows 7.

You are probably hindered by the Hard Drive's speed.

ya it lowered alot with my harddrive speed although they are the same as my old one. have a site to get a real rating?

If you are lazy to install stuff and then compare data manually, i recommend http://www.userbenchmark.com/

Nope, use real benchmarks and compare real scores against other people's verified scores. If you have an i5 and 970, you can compare it to other users with the same hardware, etc.

Your lowest score determines the system rating (base score). Everything in mine scores like 7.9, but HDD scores 5.9. So the base score is 5.9 regardless of the other sub scores.

There is not really any singular place to get a "total rating" score of your overall computer performance. Nor would I necessarily trust any that offered any such service.

 

You'd be better off doing individual tests if you want to see how your old and new PC's compare.

 

I'd test the following:

HDD benchmarks - Crystal Disk Mark http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskMark/index-e.html

CPU benchmarks - 3D Mark or PC Mark CPU Test

GPU benchmarks - 3D Mark or PC Mark GPU Test

 

You could also test RAM speed I guess?

Bigger question is "Why do you even care". That score has very little reflectance for real world.
