New graphics card giving low WEI score?
I just upgraded from a 8800GT to a Radeon 5870, and after I ran the WEI.. well, I'll show you.
My 8800GT gave me a 6.8 on the Gaming graphics scale.
Is something wrong with my card?

Im positive I have the right driver installed. And I just re-ran the test, and it bumped up to 6.0 but my old card still gave me a 6.9.
Another thing I want to point out.. Thats troubling.. Is that at idle, it sits at 50ishC. Is that normal?

Reboot and run it again.

Uninstall the driver, run Driver Sweeper and try again.

I don't read too much into the wei as it is not very accurate at all.
One example of why;
Some guy on here the other day had 7.2 for a 9600gt, another had 6.5 another had 6.6 and another had 6.9. I take into account overclock but there is no way a 9600gt chip would score 7.2.
I have a 9800GTX+ oc and that scores 7.0.
OP,
Take it with a pinch of salt.
As long as you see an increase in frame rate from the new card when gaming and there are no graphical issues then I wouldn't worry about it.
