WEI is not that tool. Just ignore it. I wouldn't completly ignore it though as a low (4 instead of 6 for example) score could indicate a problem. However its not a benchmarking tool!!! |

| | Can anyone recommend a more useful benchmarking tool (preferably free)? I use Belarc Advisor as a fairly comprehensive tool for auditing my system, but it doesn't provide any benchmarking, however it does tell me if any MS patches are missing. |

| | Also try this free to evaluate for 30 days but you only really need to do it a couple of time to see your results. PassMark BurnInTest software - PC Reliability and Load Testing Steve |

Futuremark - Benchmarks - 3DMark Vantage - Introduction. Google it and you will find that any PC benchmarked will use this program. It's not free, however you can get a "one try" trial for free. A free and older program is 3DMark 06 Basic Edition with limited functionality - Futuremark - Benchmarks - 3DMark06 - Download. However this version is limited to DX9 testing. If you want to test DX10 & 11 performance, go with 3DMark Vantage. If you want something to test your overall system performance there's PC Mark Vantage.... Futuremark - Benchmarks - PCMark Vantage - Introduction. This also has a "one try" free trial use. I know some of these aren't free, it's just to make you aware of the them. Sometimes Futuremark runs deals. I got both 3DMark Vantage & PCMark Vantage for $19.99. If you want to see what's out there for testing there's a good list here....
