Solved WEI Graphics went down after SSD install?

[Vatec]

Ok so I bought a new 64GB SSD and a 1TB HDD and installed them. Reinstalled windows and refreshed my rating. I was surprised to see that it had changed some scores which would seem irrelevant??

Before Scores: CPU: 7.4 RAM: 7.4 Graphics: 6.7 Gaming Graphics: 6.7 Hard Disk: 5.6

New scores: CPU: 7.4 RAM: 7.4 Graphics: 5.6 Gaming Graphics: 6.3 Hard Disk: 5.9

Why is this happening??? I know the scores mean nothing but how come its affected graphics?

Depends - adding an SSD moves the system's main bottleneck from the HDD to the CPU, so even a system with a superfast CPU will still get pegged far more frequently. Not everything (graphics-wise) is run on the GPU, even with Aero and DWM enabled, so a CPU that was busier could (possibly) affect the graphics scores. If you put the mechanical HDD back in and run the tests again, do the scores go back to the old numbers?

Yes it went back to the old scores when booting from the HDD not SSD. What does this mean?

Wait and my RAM scores went up?????

Wait what my scores keep seem to change??? But my SSD only got 5.9???? I thought that they were good??

I read something about enabling AHCI for SSDs, did that in BIOS, reinstallled windows, and its what it should be
