For anyone that uses Vista, just curious what you have for your score. If you've never looked, it's under Control Panel/System and Maintenance/System.
Reason I ask is, I don't know anyone that's gotten above a 5 something. My score is a 5.6 with the following hardware:
Intel Quad Core Q6600
Asus P5K Deluxe motherboard
4GB Corsair DDR2800 Ram
2x HD Radeon 4670 in Crossfire
500GB Western Digital SATA 2.0 Hard Drive
So yeah, I'm thinking the score doesn't mean a damn thing in reality, but if anyone's got like a 7 or 8 (or even a 10 omfg) please post your specs. I feel that my PC is reasonably powerful, but I guess according to Vista I'm middle of the road lol
Just curious if it's another Microsoft "need to have solid state drives, 16 GBs of memory, and 2 GB video cards to get a good score" type thing...
What's Your Windows Experience Index Score?

What's your Windows Experience Index score?
I have a 3.1 T.T
but in all seriousness the specs you got and getting a 5.6/10 means a 10/10 is a NASA PC operating at ?????? Don't worry your comp isn't being under~appreciated the rating system is just weird ._. or comparing us to those 50,000$ pc If I'm not mistaken, 5.9 is the highest you can get at the moment. I have 5.9 on everything except CPU, which is 5.8, and it is only a dual core. I'm sure a quad core would get 5.9 easily.
Windows info site no point in getting a Quad core
nothing uses that tech yet and by the time sometimes does a cheaper version of a quad core would be out Majere said: If I'm not mistaken, 5.9 is the highest you can get at the moment.

Ok, ya I feel better now. I've got a 5.9 on Processor, Graphics, and Hard Disk, a 5.8 on Gaming Graphics (lame) and a 5.6 on my memory....maybe I can do something to boost my memory speed? At any rate, thanks for the link, clarified some things ^^ Thunderz said: nothing uses that tech yet and by the time sometimes does a cheaper version of a quad core would be out I got mine for pretty cheap, my old company went belly up and I got it at a 60% discount, spent like $200 for it iirc, over a year ago...although, now that the i7's are out, I want one so bad. Don't have the $1000 to drop on it ATM though lol omg lucky you n#2 Q.Q I need a new pc badly >.>
Pro-tip : buying a regular 500$ PC at shop and stuffing some High-end stuff in it = MASSIVE AMOUNT OF FAIL SAUCE! My pc got some gr8 stuff in it but half the stuff ain't compatible and makes it crash "alot" also the fan will never stop...I can hear it going full blast 24/7 pissed me off...especially when im trying to be subtle at night >.> <.< I'm 5.9 on everything except HDD speed, which is 5.6
Also, I have quad core, and when I render animations all four cores are capped out, so I don't know how that's not being used?

I honestly have no idea how it works, I just know that when I render in HQ it uses up all 4 cores according to my little status monitor thingy Thunderz said: Blazza said: I'm 5.9 on everything except HDD speed, which is 5.6 Also, I have quad core, and when I render animations all four cores are capped out, so I don't know how that's not being used? most video games dont use Quad core they use either 1 or 2 cores most software don't use Quad~core its pretty new on the market so it will take sometime for it 2 be implemented Adobe CS4 uses quad surprisingly. I like to afinity certain programs to certain cores. oops post+1
5.9 on everything except hard drive because i took my computer out of raid. Why on earth would you need all 4 cores for photoshop <_<
I mean, I know I've done some pretty hi-res stuff with it for school, but if the shitty school computers can handle 300ppi A3 images with half a dozen photos and 20 layers, I can't really see the need. BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
3.8 >_> Preocessor: 5.8 RAM: 5.9 Graphics: 3.8 Gaming GFX: 3.8 Primary HD: 5.9 yes yes i know i fail... but come tax return im getting a better v-card and a better processor =D and maybe more ram if i have enough left over =D Mine is a 5.9 (highest all categories) put it together in July
The two 80GB HDDs are in Raid 0 Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.5GHz nVidia 9800 GTX 512MB Windows VIsta Ultimate x64 4 Gigabytes Memory DDR2 1200 DVD-RW Drive 2 80GB Harddrives 1 500GB Harddrive Thunderz said: no point in getting a Quad core nothing uses that tech yet and by the time sometimes does a cheaper version of a quad core would be out not always true if money is not an issue. its like ffxi doesnt support dual core yet u play on dual core pc and get huge boost because altho the clock rate and ***is slower the processor is just more advanced in many other ways. |
