Here is mine..thought it would be better

Hello 03, welcome to Se7en Forums; that's odd, my single 4870 gets a 7.3 with no oc.

I know the 9500GT is not the greatest thing ever but is this normal? A 4.2 on Aero and desktop and 6.3 on gaming graphics? Most I see here seem to be a lot closer.....Is this even correct?

Hello Nate, they have lowered the scores for some of the older cards but that seems too low.

Hey BFK, you think so too....

I guess it does not matter too much but those two scores have been closer in the past. Ah well...what can I do.... (besides buy a new 300 series GTX) haha

Yes, that's as good a reason as any to buy a new card.

The CPU, RAM and HDD are right, but the card should be scoring higher. Have you installed cat 9.8 yet? (it doesn't count dual/crossfire in the score either)

yeah I'm running 9.8 but it's no biggie, I can run 64bit Crysis with it all settings maxed out @ 1920x1200 and not break a sweat so I know the WEI score means very little

Thought i'd show you the improvement to my WEI caused by the installation of a new Intel X-25M Gen 2 SSD as my Windows 7 System Partition.

Before - Running off a 7200rpm Western Digital drive

After - Running off the SSD

As you can see, an incredible increase in WEI from 5.7 to 7.7 for Hard Drive performance, and for some reason my RAM performance has leapt from 5.4 to 5.9.

I am still however bottlenecking on my processor for my overall WEI performance. This is because my Intel 945 Express chipset will not cope with anything more modern than a Pentium D. I cannot overclock mine either due to a Dell motherboard.

However, I am pleased to report than Windows 7 performance on my Dell XPS400 is amazing with the SSD - boot time is exteremely fast, and applications installed on the SSD open very quickly even compared with my previous Win 7 RC install. This SSD has given the Desktop a further lease of life which will easily see it through the next three years or so (as I am not a bleeding edge gamer).

As the sticker in the SSD box states, 'My SSD Rocks!'

Hello 03, that looks a bit better.

 

[03hdfatboy]

As you might have noticed I bumped the CPU up just a bit but the Hard drive is holding me back.

Thought i would update since having two monitors and my WEI changing =)

dunno why it has gone up again :shock:

 

[derekimo]

Here's mine i thought it was pretty good in vista , but it can always be better!:huh: Just added 64 bit on my machine so i thought i'd show the wei scores side by side.i thought they would show both jpegs next to each other , anyway they're both there if you click on it.

here's mine brand new score brand new WD 1TB hard drives but not impressed with HD score....5.9?
Am i missing something here?

 

[A320]

Hey Grim, my numbers are almost identical to yours including the HD and I was wondering the exact same thing. I am running a Seagate 1TB 7200rpm 32MB SATA drive and was wondering what I am missing as well?!?!

 

[Element7]

No screenshot but mine is 2.9.

Y'all aren't missing anything; you need an SSD to get a descent WEI in 7.
