Show Us Your WEI

[bloke]

this is a fresh install of 7232 x64, just after setting up nvidia nforce 15.35 and geforce 186.18 drivers. no overclocking, all stock timings 1333 linked and synced underclocked ram from 1600. will overclock and see what changes (if) i get. i can hit 3.83ghz without having to get into detail.

 

[Webadict]

Well, my machine is far from being a '7', but for us, a 3.7 is good for what we need.

 

[bloke]

and a minor increase when overclocked (98gx2's maxed out, cpu & ram has a little more to go)

hey my laptop that the g/f uses is lower than that and its still fast, even when i have to use it after getting so use to using my rig setup, its still a reasonable speed for the wei it scores, like others have said it is to rate your hardware to current components available now rather than 2 weeks ago (lol) so everyone makes $$$ from it and vendors will go, hey look at the sales we can make with the new win7! all just a big merry-go-round. still i enjoy benching....and dreaming

it's a pity i changed the xml file that determines what the WEI score shows.

but my cpu and ram are both 7.2's 3d is 5.9, aero is 3.3 wtf? and Hard Disk is 6.1

If ouy hear of anyone who walks into a shop and says this machine got this wei score tell em about xml and a text editor

hmm does that actually work? is the displayed WEI in performance refreshed from the .XML file?

 

[zephram]

i'll show you where the file is and all i did was edit the text in it.
X:\windows\performance\winsat\datastore\"date ip. Formal assesment"(recent).winsat.xml

Obviously x=your system drive : date = test date : ip = it looks like an ip address but isn't mine.

Fenux that ATI Card is really holdin' you back.....

 

[screwballl]

My lowest is 5.7 on the processor and memory. I know when I get the final version, I will be using the 64bit on this system to take advantage of the full 4GB... and maybe future upgrade to 8GB.

Now thats a nice score

 

[zephram]

Another thing noticed is that my memory scores lower in x64 at 5.9 than x86 at 7.2 every other number is the same

 

[ciphernemo]

Too bad I can't get the 7.6 or 7.7 from my CPU and memory. So I guess my EVGA GTX 285 SC is my bottleneck now? LOL. Well, I have no interest in doing SLI again (did that with two 8800GTX and two 7600GT cards in previous systems), so I'll have to live with my 6.6, hehehe.

Windows RC-1 64-bit (straight from ISO of RC-1).

Also, on first run, my RAID 0 of SSDs scored 7.3, and on the second it scored 7.4. It seems to vary I guess?

 

[brayway]

Here is Mine.
the ram should be higher as it is 1066 but running at 800???
well yea the CPu is a E1400 OC'd to 2.86

Here's my latest WEI score...
Just Joking!!!!
I hacked it...LOL :roflmao:

The Real score is the one on the right...hehe!

 

[ikilledkenny]

Can you make it say anything above 7.9 by hacking?

 

[MUff1N]

Can you make it say anything above 7.9 by hacking?

Yea, you can go as high as 9.9
But that would be spotted to be a fake immediately because it's not supposed to go any higher than 7.9...

Info on how to do this & no reboot is required so you can check the
WEI as you do it to make sure you are editing the correct numbers.


The Windows System Assessment Tool (WinSAT), is a free benchmarking tool that measures various performance characteristics and capabilities of a computer running in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 & Windows 7.
The ratings are displayed as Windows Experience Index or WEI score.

The hack stuff:
WinSAT saves the scores in a XML file located in the Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore folder.
Each time you perform benchmarking using WinSAT, it creates a new XML file and stores it in this folder.
All you have to do is to open the latest XML file and edit it using WORDPAD.

Fun stuff: Modify your WEI score and show it to your friends just for fun.

What this looks like in Wordpad & the numbers to be changed.
(This is just the first part of it as the data is quite extensive & is toward the top or start of it)

I got a 3.1 on my craptop. Nobody would buy it if I stuck in a 4!

They might if you were trying to sell it though & they didn't know anything about computers... :sarc:
