Show Us Your WEI

[Bare Foot Kid]

Hello Draves, welcome to Se7en Forums!

Have a look through this whole thread to see the answers to your questions. People with i7's and others using RAID have posted throughout this thread.















Later :shock: Ted

It was a long thread man! There are definitely some weird results out there. Some i7's were lower than my phenom and some were higher. Also it seems that the speed of the ram doesn't affect the score as much as the amount. People with 6-8gigs were all getting higher scores, but people with 4 gigs were stuck around 5.9. So is microsoft recommending 8 gigs for best performance? Crazyness.

Back to my ram. I tried changing all of my setting, overclocking, timings, ganged mode, interleaving, etc and I am still stuck at 5.9. Maybe it is a driver issue. Oh well.

Heh Something wrong here , im getting a score of 3!

Processor : 7.2
Memory : 7.2
Graphics : 7.9
Gaming : 6.3
Hard Disk : 3

According to this my hard disk score is really low and crap which is giving me the overall such low wei score.

3? What kind of hard drive are you running? Did you try enabling write caching in the drive's properties. Look through this thread...a lot of people are complaining about hard drive performance and how to improve it.

Already enabled mate..

Drive is a hitachi hdp725050gla

Here is my index:


It's a little odd though that my Aero Graphics score is lower than that for Gaming Graphics. I'd have thought that Gaming Graphics would place greater stresses on the GPU than would Aero.

It make no real difference really that I can see, since Aero is screaming on Prometheus.

It is worthwhile noting though that using the ATI driver installed during initial installation of Windows 7 produced a STOP 0xEA error when I performed the initial rating. A second try after the reboot was ok.

Windows Update found a newer driver to use for my graphics, and my Aero Graphics score subsequently increased from 3.4 to 3.5 when the new driver was installed and the WEI assesment was run again.

WHAT you only get a 3.5 on aero????
and 5.1 on gaming??

because i get 3.6 and 5.2 respectively on them ON A IGP...



while i know that my graphics chipset is based on the hd 2400 it shouldnt be able to go and actually surpass a discreet graphics that has actuall memory....

i have even heard of people acquiring 4.0 when using dual channel 2gb chips....

i still dont get how you get such a low score...

If you're using a motherboard with an Intel chipset and SATA drives in AHCI mode, it's likely that you're using Microsoft's Windows 7 default driver and you should install the one that comes with Intel INF Update utility.

I talked about this in this post and after installing the driver my hard disk scoring in WEI came up from 2.9 to 5.8!

This is my WEI score before, using the native Windows 7 driver (displaying the decimal point as comma because I'm using spanish regional settings)

​

And this one after installing the Intel INF Update with the method described here

BTW, this is the actual scoring in my main setup:

ASUS P5B Deluxe
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz @ 3GHz
4 GB DDR2 RAM (2x1GB Team Extreme 667MHz + 2x1GB GSkill 800 MHz)
O.S. Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (320 GB SATA II)
ASUS EAH3650 SILENT HTDI/512M (Radeon HD3650)

You need to turn it off to increase your score.

5.8 here..

 

[jota]

Mine is just 2.4
Ther's something wrong, I got a Nvidia 6200 512MB
I must have got this results because of my memory: just 1,25GB.
But it's working fine, even better then XP.

 

[z3r010]

2.4 is about right for that card.

 

[sandeep]

Need more faster components I think.

 

[homer09001]

was 2.0 but a retest kicked it up a gear

I ended up Installing 7 on a seperate hard drive. I was unable to partiton my vista hard drive do to the fact that my Master table files were located at the end of my hard drive and from what I have read they are not movable. I found a work around for this but in the end I decided to use and old 160 gig drive I had. eveything went great intill I tried going back to my Vista setup and got a message unable to load operating system. Scared the crap out of me. But I found if I put the 7 set up disk in at the point were ask to hit any button to boot from cd, that if you wait about 15 seconds a message will pop up asking which operating system you want to load. Things are good now, I have had no problems so far with 7.

Who at MS do you have to blow to accually get a 7.9 LOL I doubt Bill Gates even gets it and is probs really agravated.
