updated hardware,thus WEI!

My new WEI
But, after I installed the latest driver from Nvidia, my gaming score went from 6.9 to 6.8, What gives??:shock:

 

[Petey7]

Darn, you people put my score to shame.

 

[dorian hawkmoon]

Nah, you'll be able to update your score soon enough I'm sure

I'm on a laptop so not really. Technically speaking, I am using one of the few laptops the video card is replaceable on, but the part must come from another Dell Vostro 1500/1700. Dell used to see the part as an upgrade, but they stopped selling it recently. I would like the nVIDIA GeForce Go 8600M GT, but I have nothing that warrants the cost of it, even on ebay.

But, after I installed the latest driver from Nvidia, my gaming score went from 6.9 to 6.8, What gives??:shock:

The latest drivers...? I don't think the drivers have had any optimisations for the GeForce 8000 range for a very long time. The only optimisations you'll get from the latest drivers is if you had some of the GTX200 or GTX400 range cards.

And yes, I am speaking from experience: I'm running a GeForce 8800GTS. I still can't tell much difference from the Forceware 197.21 drivers to the latest with my card.... It's slight with some of them, but hardly any change.

As for the change from 6.9 to 6.8: the WEI score tries to put the numbers across for anyone to understand, so things are 'dumbed down' so to speak. You might find that when you had 6.9 previously, your test results put your score near the bottom of the 6.9 bracket, and this time the test varied slightly and now it's in the top of the 6.8 bracket. My HDD score for example keeps bouncing between 6.8 and 6.9 for the same reason.

Obviously it's not the system in your sig, so I'm curious now... AMD CPU looks like it got a nice score, but if you got an NForce chipset (I'm guessing this from the NVidia 8200 onboard graphics) wouldn't that board support at least some of the Phenom II processor range....?

Edit: Ok, scratch that... I found the stats you posted over here: http://www.sevenforums.com/overclocking-case-mods/347-show-us-your-rig-92.html#post881054

And it does support the Phenom II, up to the 140W suckers.... Lucky you.

Thanks guys, my aunt's the lucky one, she's the one I built it for.

So, the slight decrease in WEI score doesn't mean that much right? Thanks for the clarification

The WEI index uses a tool called WinSAT (Windows Systam Assessment Tool) to perform all the tests, then Windows simplifies the numbers to make it end-user-friendly.

If you want to test things yourself (depends on how curious you are), open a command prompt and run "winsat /?" without the quotation marks. It'll give you a list of tests you can run. Here's one example of using the WinSAT tool: http://www.sevenforums.com/performance-maintenance/5400-whats-your-memory-assessment-speed.html

She doesn't know yet, she coming to S. Carolina the first of Sept and I'll give it to her then.

Changed BCLK to 160 w/ turbo on. Running my ram at it's native 1600MHz now. Improved my CPU and Memory scores.

thats gay....my gt 240 only gets a 6.7 on my computer

 

[jsettoon]

I finally got my OCZ Vertex 2 installed and the OS loaded. Seeing as how I don't do any gaming, I'm pretty happy with these numbers.

 

[Dave76]

That's a very nice SSD, is it your first?

Great scores

Enjoy, that's an excellent set up

You mean happy? Well, close enough, look at my CPU and Ram, and my GT240 has 1 GB GDDR5 Ram. It's all relative.

Thanks Dave

It is my first, and I'm happy with the purchase. Noticeable performance increase for the money.

Hmm, I am only getting a 6.9 with my 18 months old Vertex at FW level 1.41. Not that it matters, but I had expected it to be above 7.

Hello Wolfgang.


If you ran this before a re-install you may get well above 7.

They are nice aren't they

After the purchase, no one ever regrets doing it.

It's the best upgrade I've ever done.

Thanks BFK. Maybe next time I install. I had sent it to OCZ to optimize (because I had a very backlevel FW and there was one step in the upgrade that I could not do), but I guess they did a bum job.
