    new GTX-Titan box fails 'Windows Experience' & has jerky window drags?


    I've got a new dual Xeon SuperMicro X9DAi box box with 128GB Crucial ECC RAM with a Titan and a Corsair AX1200i.

    After installing all the drivers (latest motherboard BIOS, latest nVidia drivers, chipset drivers) & all Microsoft updates, I noticed that dragging any window across the screen was jerky and was leaving trails.

    My first testing was on a 2560 x 1440 DELL U2713HM connected thru Display Port.

    I've also tried DVI connectors with two other monitors, it acts the same.

    Here are the logs from my Windows Experience, which fails with the useful error msg of 'The Windows Experience Index for your system could not be computed. Could not measure system memory performance."

    Dragging a window on my 3 year old X8DAE with a GTX-580 is flawless. This box is about 3x faster and the video card is 2 generations later?

    I never update a brand new PC until I've tried it out of the box for a day or two, so I have some baseline comparison, performance wise.

    Never heard of that hardware, so I am going to surmise that you need to fall back on the video and the chipset drivers and see if those work, based on those winsat messages, that is where I would begin.

    Wondering if you need very specific drivers, and not just the normal Nvidia suite when upgrading that new monster card, that would mess ya up for sure if the case.

    I resolved the problem of the jerkiness by setting optimal defaults in the SuperMicro BIOS. I guess I'd turned off something I thought I wouldn't need that caused issues. However, the 'Windows Experience' still fails with "Could not measure system memory performance." I have 128GB of Crucial ECC RAM and tested overnight with both MemTest86 and MemTest86+. I would like to get that working, as it's annoying to have it fail out of the box?

    can you do a winsat mem test instead of the WIE score?

    enter command prompt as administrator and type "winsat mem" and it will give you the throughput of your RAM.
