Show Us Your WEI

The WEI SUX.

I buy a new OCZ Vertex SSD and my score stills under 7

I think is imposible to get the perfect score.


I think i need another SSD:huh: but no money

I read on a post recently 7Forums to disregard the WEI numbers, as they change often and can be quite tempermental. Mine have changed, causing losts of concern, but when it comes down to it, very little "real" performance changes...at least that I can notice.

The WEI SUX.

I buy a new OCZ Vertex SSD and my score stills under 7

I already try whit Raptors Raid and i got 6.5.


I think is imposible to get the perfect score.

My rig:
Phenom II 550 BE (Unlocked to Quad Core and Overclocked to 3.6ghz).
4GB DDR3 OCZ Gold.
250GB OCZ Vertex SSD 240MBPS-150MBPS.
HD5770 XFX CF.
Moteherboard Ma770T-UD3P.

I think i need another SSD:huh: but no money

yea it looks like you are running the SSD in IDE mode. you should try AHCI, simple Reg tweak and a bios change will get you into AHCI mode.

also you should check your running it in UMDA 5 not PIO.

just things to check really. as you should be getting over 7.8 with a SSD! as i do with my Intel X-25M 80GB G2.

also give AS SSD a run and see what ya benchmarks are like? should be nice

Hello JohnPC, welcome to Seven Forums!



Here's a good tutorial about AHCI if you haven't seen it yet; at the link below.

Hello,
The WEI numbers have completely dumbfounded me... It is currently 6.0.
My first try at installing Win7 - 64 Ultimate yielded a womping 7.0, limited by the SSD in IDE mode.
My ATI 5870 was 7.4 I believe.
So then, after having to reinstall using AHCI mode, my SSD went up to 7.3, but my Graphics dropped to 6.0.
After several reinstalls, switching out ATI 5870 to different PCI-E slot, return to IDE mode, & lots of BIOS configuration tinckering, it hasn't budged from the 6.0 mark.
...dumbfounded... but I'm still very impressed with Win7 @ WEI 6.0!

I had the same wei 6.0 score from my graphics, and uninstalling the graphics drivers and reinstalling them a couple times worked. I have a 5850

Mine WEI:

Tell me this is right. My Patriot Torqx SSD is now the "weak point" in my system if you believe WEI. I don't think it's right, but it's interesting anyway.

Hello fomik, welcome to Seven Forums!












Howdy Nate, the WEI is screwy isn't it? :huh:

 

[sergiogarcia9]

I don't really trust WEI's.
If my machine runs as fast and as good as i want, that'll do it for me I don't need to have a 7.x WEI score for that

That's right, we don't need no steenkin WEI!

 

[nate42nd]

lol I DO find my WEI strange. That's all. It shows you just how screwed up it is. (my WEI)

BTW - I FINALLY have my system finished (for now) and I'm loving it. Can't wait to stress this card. I am running afterburner's stress tool and it's staying very cool.

I still need a CPU to finish mine, I was going to get an i7-930 but I may just wait for the "affordable" Gulftown to be released later this year.

That CPU going on your current system, as listed in your system specs?

Thought I'd throw mine on here.. just upgraded from VelociRaptor 2x300gb (Raid 0..6.2 score) to my first SSD.. X25-M 80gb. Probably will still raid out the raptors via windows. Hopefully no more reinstalls for a while!

Also.. CPU is OC'd to 4ghz, ram is mushkin blackline (1600), gtx295 is stock (for now)

posted this on ssd performance first..whoops =)

Thanks for the thoughts Jorpe. I've managed to replicate the previous high WEI by reloading the 790fx ATI drivers directly from the ATI site.
Yikes! I was a bit off...
Graphics -- 7.8
That's a jump from 6.0... and now that my WEI is high and mighty, maybe me likey WEI!

Thanks BareFootKid!
I really liked that tutorial quite a bit, and I spent sometime working through it a few weeks back. I did manage to get the IDE drivers changed to AHCI, but I went ahead and did a fresh install after all and loaded the drivers during the setup stage. For some reason, my actual startup time was slowed down from about 30 seconds to about 90 sec. when I tried to change the drivers after install. By loading them before install, it reverted to about 35 sec. Win 7 load time.
Great WEI thread by the way... some good funnys!

 

[DreemWarrior]

A brand new WEI

It is amazing what the right components, properly configured will do for a system.
I'm not going to share how much I spent on this Dell Quad(WAY too much). Not just initially, but JUST to get it to perform the way DELL SHOULD have built it.
Anyway, here is the score before drastic PC surgery, and the score after!
The diff. here being the ATI HD 5770 I just installed! This thing is a MONSTER!
It barely fit in the case!!

I can't stress enough what a shoddy job was done from the factory.
Sad part is, now that its running smooth, I'm in the process of building one that will leave it standing still, and for way less money.
