how can this be

I all, i have a question,

As you can see in this video: Greatest Gaming Rig Part Six - The Finale - YouTube , they couldn't reach 7.9 on there graphics neither on cpu power, and as far as i can see they have one hell of a monster.

so my question is, how is it possible that my average gaming rig reach 7.9 on gfx perf. and 7.7 on cpu in window WEI? does not make any sense, i need some advice....

Don't take this the wrong way, but, is this a serious question? Or are you just looking for some kind of recognition?
Were you paying attention to what the specs were?
On top of that, they have absolutely, no clue as to what they are doing!
In the first minute, I learned all I needed to know, they softclocked, whatever....

well yes it is a serious question

Do you have 4x of those 560tis running?

stomper · 26 Apr 2012

no i dont, only one 560ti, that why i'm asking how is 7.9 possible?

Google, 560ti 7.9 WEI, you aren't alone.

Don't take this the wrong way, but honestly, WEI is not really the best way to gauge a systems capabilities.
Plus, their 7.1, was while they were running the 4way 460s. When it was a single 460, they were at a 7.8.
You have a much stronger processor, which does effect the overall performance of ram and gpu.

Also, no current CPU can reach 7.9 in WEI, unless you overclock to 5 GHz+ maybe. My CPU gets me 7.8.

I would second James7679, WEI is a very crude benchmark.
