Windows 7 - What's your experience index?

[Ao1]

I get a retarded rating for my video cards... I have no idea how 4870x2 cf is a 6.4 No problems with actual benches either, my 3d scores went up from vista 64.

If you think that is bad I'm getting 6.3 for graphics and gaming on my 4870x2. 9.4 & 8.612 drivers give the same result. I've got a 30" monitor at 2560x1600 so I tried 800x600 and I still get 6.3. What gives?

7.5 my lowest

[Hoss331]

Weird, my single slightly overclocked 4870 gets 6.9.

[Ruroni]

Limited by HDD (velociraptor 300) @ 5.9

My GTX260 only scores 6.3 on both GFX tests. Processor and RAM @ 7.0 and 7.1 respectively.

Am I right to say that 64 and 32 bit versions of the OS score differently? On Vista when I ungraded my 64 bit OS and put the old part in my 32 bit OS the benchmark sub-score was always higher in the 32 bit OS. I haven’t tried that on W7 though and I never found out why the sub score in a 32 bit system was always better than in a 64 bit system.

What I find strange is that 4 OCZ v2 SSD's in RAID0 only get a 5.9 and that my 4870x2 only gets a 6.2. More shocked at the SSD's rating...

That's not surprising for the Cores....if you have time have a quick scan of this thread. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...54&postcount=1

I ran it again and I am 7.8 for CPU, 7.9 for memory, 6.3 on Graphics, and 7.6 for HDD's. So, I need 2 X 4870x2's to be 7.9? They aren't messing around with this... 7.8 for a core i7 965 @ 4.7!

[dpokrajac0]

5.9 i think.

[cky2k6]

The 3d score apparently only supports 1 gpu, but that still doesn't explain why some people do much better than others with the same exact gpu.

I guess they changed the tests for 7201 since my graphics score has gone up 0.6 from 7100.

Win7 x64 Build 7137. NWN2 won't run under 7201.

[buddatech]

very interesting thread, I'm very tempted to install w7 now and give it a go

[EniGmA1987]

5.9 is mine. Limited by my hard drive. Everything else is at 6.9 or higher.

[NLight95]

Same as above except build 7232

Dual 4870X2's I am getting a 5.9/7.9 for "desktop performance for windows aero"

Any idea why I am getting such a low score? Build 7100 of course, it doesnt make any sense and I also get alot of messages saying Aero is using up alot of resources and would like to change desktop settings?

Im not particularly worried about the WEI Score since they are for the most part meaningless in terms of performance standards, however its just perplexing that this score would be so low and I would be getting those popup windows regarding Aero using too many resources etc...

As far as I can tell, the video tests aren't allowing the ATI cards go into 3D clocks ( as well as not appearing to support / scale multiple cores ) My 8800gt gets .1 less than a 4870x2 which would support my theory ( 8800gt doesn't have 2d clocks ) I wouldn't be too worried about it as long as the cards are delivering where it matters

[borec]

5,5 for ram 1333 CL6 because I go without OC on x48

[rge]

mine from recent rebuild

[Lamb]

Build 7100, how am I getting such low scores for GFX? oO

[EagleRock]

Saw the RTM version today, any 1 will install it ?

[N19h7m4r3]

Pretty low for my graphics

5.9 running 7100 here. Limited by 7200 RPM disk.
