I have just finished building my new system. I thought I may have a chance at reaching WEI 7.9.

Spec is..

That's odd! I get 7.9 across the board with my current setup. Admitedly I have my ram running at 2133mhz.

Your 580gtx is more powerful than my 6950 and mine scores 7.9 lol

GPU and M4 should be 7.9 :huh:

Are the drives set as AHCI/RAID or IDE? Is your OS drive on the Sata III port?

CPU is normal, so too is the Ram.

All sata drives are in IDE mode. OS is in SATA 1 which is the 6Gbs sata connection. My step son has identical GPU it scores a 7.9

You are new, so you probably haven't seen the countless threads, but you are really only wasting your time by worry about what WEI says. Besides...why stop at 7.9???

no benchmarks are the way to gauge your system. 7.9 is just a bonus on top of good benchmarks results.

I have manged to get the SSD's in to ACHI. 7.9 score now on the hard drive.

IDE+WEI has been a common bafflement regarding scores. Good to hear that's now sorted.

That leaves the GPU - are the drivers updated? Preferably from nvidias site.

Yes I have even tried the newest beta drivers.The 7.8 score on the card was with mem clocked to 870 Mhz if I remember correctly.

Hmm. My 580 and same drivers at it's 772mhz stock it nets a 7.9


If it's a new build, have you got all the chipset drivers etc installed? No yellow triangles beside any devices in device manager?

Also, do you have the iGPU enabled at all? Installed the Virtu software?

Double check that it's actually using the 580 and not the iGPU (virtu-i mode) when running the test.

No, it's normally on the mobo CD or obtained from the manufacturers site.

The iGPU is actually an intel HD3000 integrated into the CPU (hence, iGPU). I haven't played with enough (ie at all yet) to explain it adequately, so:

Article said:
While the Z68 Express chipset enables the simultaneous use of both the integrated GPU (iGPU) of Sandy Bridge processors as well as a separate graphics card or cards, all you can do with this capability is run multiple monitors; Virtu gives you more options. Specifically, Virtu supports two different modes:
  • Virtu i-Mode allows seamless switching between integrated Intel HD graphics and a separate graphics card, resulting in significant power savings when the power of the graphics card isn't required. In this mode the monitor is plugged into one of the motherboard's video ports.
  • Virtu d-Mode enables the use of a separate graphics card while allowing the use of Intel's "Quick Sync" video transcoding technology, which runs on the iGPU. In this mode the monitor must be plugged into the graphics card.

...cont

Even if it turns out to have nothing to do with the WEI, at least you discovered a new toy :)

Couldn't hit 7.9 with Sandy Bridge

i7-2700K @ 5.2Ghz ~1.5V = 7.8 WEI
2x4GB RAM, off timings for the moment, at 1866Mhz CL-11 = 7.9 WEI
GTX 470 = 7.8/7.8 WEI (no change with adding virtu)
RAID0 2x OCZ Vertex 3 120GB in SATA6Gb/s slots = 7.9 WEI

Do legit WEI #'s matter, no ofcourse not, neither do the numbers on the dyno when test your car's power.
