Show Us Your WEI

Some of us are brave/crazy enough to install the latest Nvidia drivers that were made for Vista x64 ... That made my graphics score go up to a 6.0

Through the life of windows 7 I think we will see some incredible new hardware and I believe that is why the WEI score goes up so high.. the best processors I have seen hasn't broke 7.2 (Intel I7)

I tried all the latest drivers includind the 181.22 whql but no change in the score!!. Can anyone having the same graphics card(8600gt ddr2 512mb) post their wei scores please?

Dude i compared your values with mine, but for the surprising part my hdd shows higher points than yours in all the tests... BUt the final score is 5.9 asusual!. I will post the comparison as soon as possible!!. Have you disabled the write cache or what?

Win7 calculates data transfer rate differently than Vista, now taking 'disk latency' into consideration. If your drives latency is poor, you will never reach 6.0. :)

Hard drive scores for drives exhibiting what Microsoft calls 'problematic' have been capped under Beta 1 of Windows 7.

RAID 0 and SSD setups will gain good scores, but never near 7.9.

But the score should not differ for the same hdd model and a similar sata or ahci controller!!

It could. There are a few variables that may differ from each setup:

1. Drive Firmware newer or older than the comparison drive.

2. SATA/AHCI controller not exactly the same as comparison controller.

3. Chipset drivers newer or older than the comparison ones.

4. Dilithium centrifugal time warp matrix misaligned.



(Kidding about the last one lol )

Well i hve the same one and my score was a 6.0 on the wei with that drive..

Hey dude, i just verified the two files you sent!! In the disk assessment file it says ur hdd score is 5.9 which is similar to mine. But in the formal overall assessment file it says 6.0!! How is it possible? Can u post a screen shot of urs?
