Show Us Your WEI [4]

[Lady Fitzgerald]

Changing the SSD would affect only the Disk Data Transfer Rate and you were already maxed out there.

Yep I was just expecting the better or rather the more recent version of the drive would bring it up a tad but really I am not that stuck on what this reading is as long as the machine doesn't crash again

The highest score is 7.9 for any section, you will already have been scoring 7.9 for your old 830 therefore it would be impossible to improve on it.
The overall score for WEI goes by the lowest scoring components, in your case the gpu

"The highest score is 7.9 for any section" except the processor; that's 7.8.

WEI is a bit overrated. The bragging rights are nice but, if your machine is doing what you want it to, then the WEI doesn't really matter. Just don't look at the WEIs from equivalent Win 8 machines. Those will give all of us an inferiority complex (I suspect M$ may have skewed them a wee bit to make their problem child look better).

Of course, if you don't mind a wee bit of cheating, you could have a score like this on a Win 7 machine:

Aww man, now I have to upgrade so I can have moar WEI's...

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Paul I have only had the 7.3 and I think it really has little relevance to me personally I just want the thing to go quick Only did it for the curiosity value really.

 

[kbrady1979]

The 830 was already really quick, I doubt you lost anything going to the 840

Naw, just photoshop them.

My 650Ti made my graphic score 7.9, of course your mileage may vary.

Yep that is the next move Gary but am waiting on the eyes to get done and then do the Haswell with one and I know I can count on you for the info on it

Still running good ..

 

[Dude]

Looks good Total. Your Ram should definitely be 7.9

Hmmm, 1600MHz ram? You sure? I think you'd need higher for 7.9. Although I get a 7.7 for my paltry 4Gigs @ 1600MHz.

[Dude]

Yes I'm sure. I'm running 8gb@1600 of PNY ram, and I get 7.9 for ram. I think his ram is better than mine.



My Specs say 1866, but I removed that OC for the wei run

Sometimes, I wonder if WEI is rigged to make us borderline obsessive-compulsive...

It is, like every other benchmark we play with

I've only switched to Nocs for fans, and put a radiator in place of the fan on my GPU. I don't have the disease

We all have are vices Bill

 

[paulpicks21]

Does he have 1 stick of 8gb or 2x 4gb? If it's 1x8 then it won't be dual channel and will explain the lower score.

I used to get 7.8 with 1600, I found it needed a slight oc to get 7.9 but I guess all ram is different.

Our vices are devices.

 

[chromatica18]

Just installed windows 7 again for the first time since the release of 8.

 

[Dude]

chromatica18, great scores

 

[chromatica18]

What does it take to hit 7.9 on cpu? 3970X?
