Windows 7: Desktop performance for windows 2.6

glassofwater · 18 Oct 2013

I refreshed my Windows Experience Index and the Graphics only scores 2.6 which is pretty low. I tried many ways from online to improve it. But none of them worked. Is this very important or I just need to leave it like that? and what should I do to get a relatively good score?

Thank you in advance.

Buy a better graphics card. But, as Usernameissues has said, we'd need to see your complete specs to see if the rest of your system would support it or if you really need to.

UsernameIssues & Boozad, thank you for the constant reply then. I reinstalled the OS and updated the drivers and the score is 3.1 now. Have no idea which step worked, but it worked anyway.

3.1 is about average for most PCs - The GPU is what determines it. I always buy those cheap eVga cards, one of these days I'll get something good.

Actually my two main PCs went from 3.1 to about 4 under Windows 8 but I understand that uses a different set of rules to calculate. And the whole scoring thing is gone in Windows 8.1.

I like Performance Test, it scores you, then you can download Baselines form the net, and install them, and use those to compare your performance. This system scores at 300, but my other system scores at 824 or so, for some reason it is blazing fast, and I don't know why - Mismatched Ram, an AMD 4200+ CPU, it should be slower than this one.
