Show Us Your WEI

Hello Jeffs, welcome to Seven Forums!


The RC has lower GFX scores than the RTM.

 

[Firestrider]

Here's the rating of the system I just built. I'm not sure why the graphics score for Aero Performance is lower than the gaming graphics score. Also, I had hoped this number (4.2) would have been much higher with my new video card (at least 5). My last video card was 3.3. Is the card I got not "powerful enough"?

Note: everything works fine, and I'm happy with the performance. Also, I don't game on this machine. I just feel the graphics number is too low. All latest drivers installed. Anyone know of any tweaks?

Assuming you have the latest build of windows 7 (RTM) and latest graphics driver for your card you should be good.

Check to see if the Nvidia control panel has your card set to application specific settings and maximum performance.

It's nice to see the first Core i5 bench (That I've seen anyway)

Yes, I am running the latest build (the release) of W7. The graphics appear to be set to "Let the 3D application decide." The only other setting I see is something called "PhysX GPU Acceration" and it's enabled. I'm not too familiar with the settings in this control panel, and what they do.

I also set some overclocking up last night using a Gigabyte supplied application and have bumped all the numbers up by +0.1 except the disk performance. The processor is now at 3.0Ghz (up from 2.67). This application also has the ability to adjust the graphics processor clocks as well, so I'll probably try bumping them up a little too and see what happens.

My WEI Score!!

Well! Here is my WEI. I exspect to be higher once I install my new HDD. Once it arrives. I still don't understand though. Why my score for my graphics are so low. I have , which I think are 2 pretty good graphics cards. Maybe you guys could offer a solution to me to fix this little problem. :huh:

6.3 for an 8500 series Nvidia card is probably about right. I think my 9800GTX+ only gets around 7.0

New (faster/larger) primary hard drive will be here next week, but here's how I'm sitting now...

Leap of Faith....

Hi all Seveners!

Against my better judgement I finally caved in and tried an in place upgrade from Vista Ultimate to Win7 Ultimate on my main machine. All my others were fresh clean installs, but after hearing a MS rep say how easy his in place upgrade went, and knowing the the kernel is basically the same I had to try.

In just under 2 hours it completed and now I'm a happy boy!

Here's my WEI:

5.9 Here as well, primary hard disk.

Apparently we need 1000000000GB hard drives that spin 90billion RPM :roflmao:

 

[Darryl Licht]

Did any of you with 5.9 HDD score defrag first?

Did any of you with 5.9 HDD score defrag first? Im gonna defrag tonight and try again in the am!

No, you need an SSD "Solid State Drive"

You know, looking at the other Nvidia scores, my 4.2 for the 9500GT seems terribly wrong. The other GeForce scores are up in the 6 and 7 range? I realize I don't have the same GPU, but the numbers seem wrong. Anyone care to help me figure out why?

 

[Ilya]

How's your driver? Latest?

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Hello Ilya, welcome to Seven Forums!

 

[Jeffs]

Yes, latest.

Hello Ilya, welcome to Seven Forums!

Thank you!

Not often do I bump into another believer on a forum (I'm on 3 seperate car enthusiast blogs and 1 torrent forum).

Yes, latest.

Hmm. Is it possible your card is getting underpowered perhaps? Or the card itself is on it's way out?

I just sent my MSI GeForce 8800Ultra to MSI to get fixed because it was artifacting in games (but not in windows). Maybe when Win7 conducts your test, something is happening causing it give a worse mark?

MSI replaced my 8800Ultra with a GTX260 by the way . Totally surprised me with that one, they did. Should be here on Wednesday. Then I can return this $400 GTX285 I got from NewEgg.
