Show Us Your WEI (2)

[Dave76]

My score went from 5.9 to 7.4 just by getting an SSD drive

Nice scores, SSDs are a great performance upgrade.

Enjoy.

Something odd going on..

So I decided to mess around with my old pc
Asus S2E@ 3.6
4GB Patriot DDR2
3x Nvidia 280 GTX
2x Intel X25G2 60GB Raid 0

I did a clean windows install all patches then installed Nvidia system drivers and video drivers.

WEI Score of
7.4
7.4
7.6
7.6
7.6

I installed the old 197.45 drivers and my video score went up to 7.9 7.9

I then reinstalled the 258.96 drivers and WEI stays at 7.9 7.9

Last thing Im wondering is I had a 7.6 on storage with 1 Intel X25G2 Im now running 2 of them in raid 0 and It didnt go up at all..

Great numbers...but don't fret over the WEI scores, they are fickle and inaccurate. Only a rough estimate I'd say. As suggested, you'd want to use some performance or benchmarking programs to judge actual performance at that level. A Guy

Agreed I view wei as a general guide. However its pointing to a general issue of some sort. Another thing I noticed is when I ran Prime 95 it passes fine. When I run LinX the nvidia driver stops responding and recovers LinX is still running fine. I'm not sure how LinX is impacting my video cards.

Message received! Right now I'm using a HDD and scoring 5.9 as you used to.

Has anyone hit the 7.9 WEI score yet? Just curious. I keep seeing the hard disk as the limiting factor. What's the highest anyone has gotten there and what's the configuration?

Im not sure tbh i dont think i have ever seen a legit score like that, here is an interesting thread on the topic What does it take to get 7.9 in Windows 7? - Page 6 - XtremeSystems Forums it seems even a i7-980x will still only get a 7.8,

I saw this a little while ago about the new OCZ Revo Drives

This guy gets a 7.9 for his YouTube - Few Benchmarks with OCZ RevoDrive 120gb Pcie SSD

a 980 with a > 4.5 OC with defender, and fire wall turned off can get a 7.9, with my 920 at 4.36 I get a 7.7, just can not justify that kind of scratch for a .2

There are quite a few SSDs that can get a 7.9, most SSDs in RAID will get that.

The processor is the one thing that is still very difficult to get a legitimate 7.9, it's been reported that it has been done and documented. N2 cooling, extreme overclocking, seems to be necessary to achieve the top score.
