GT60 2OC - Windows Experience Index scores - Question!

I had a MSI GT70 0NC before this one and now I'm a bit confused with the Windows Experience Index on the graphics and HDD scores, on the GT70 the graphics score was 7.3 and 7.3 (Nvidia GT 670m) and on the MSI GT60 2OC I get 7.2 and 7.2 (Nvidia GT 770m), is this score good? I mean that I get lower score on a new/better graphics board? 
The other question is about the 2 Msata drives in raid 0, the score on the old one was 7.9 (with a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD) and now with the 2 Msata in raid 0 I get 7.8, is this score good? What is better: the 2 Msata or the single Samsung SSD? ... 

I've contacted MSI UK sales department and was advised to try with customer support ( [email protected] ) and now I'm waiting for an answer... meanwhile I had some time to test and install the Samsung 840 PRO (removed the 750GB HDD) and made some tests on all drives, this is what I got using CrystalDisk Mark and Samsung Magician:
The 2nd picture is made with RAPID mode activated (it was looking a but too boosted on CrystalDisk Mark) 
Now the laptop feels again fast and "furious"  the bad part is that I don't have any other space to keep my files at the moment, just the 120GB from the 2 mSata and what is left from the SSD... I hope I can get an SATA board so I can use the SSD as Primary and the HDD as secondary/data drive.

  • Upgrade suggestion​s to improve Windows Experience Index scores on a D10

    I received my new D10 last month and it is a DREAM MACHINE! Excellent build quality.
     I am primarily a SOHO user (MS Office, Quicken, Photoshop Elements, etc.). I ordered the machine with the entry-level video card (256MB NVIDIA NVS290). Here are my Windows Experience Index scores (Vista 64):
    Memory = 5.0
    Graphics = 3.4
    Gaming graphics = 4.6
    Primary hard disk = 5.9
     The base score is 3.4 due to the lowest (general graphics) score. I would like to use the Aero GUI and the base score seems marginal to support a smooth and fast Aero interface. If I upgrade to the FX1700 card (like ‘biowizard’s S10 machine below), would this increase my base score significantly on my D10? I know that it is I hard to predict the graphics score without actually installing the card in my machine, but if there is a reasonable chance of improving the base score, I might upgrade to a higher-end card.
     Thanks for any advice. And thanks to Erik for his earlier advice in helping me to selecting a suitable configuration before I ordered the D10.

    speed in design/photography apps will be faster with a high-end card.   my D10 was ordered with an FX 370 since (for me) it was only ~$11 more than the NVS 290.   in both photoshop CS3 and CS4, the FX 3700 kills the 370 in all aspects: RAW conversion, filter speed, refresh speed, etc.   my new FX 4800 isn't much faster than the 3700 but gives me 3x more memory, which is important working with 21 megapixel RAW images on a 30" display.
    one issue i have with the FX 370/570/1700 platform cards is that the fans are small and loud.   the 3700, 4800, and 5800 are almost dead silent.   if you want a quiet card, i personally wouldn't recommend getting a 1700.
    quadro cards are built for longevity using high-end components.   i wouldn't worry at all about a fan failing.

    Is there I can change to make it boot faster or that is normal?
    Also, Isn't the processor Windows assessment score should be greater than 4.6 and
    for the memory greater than 7.2 ??

    4-5 minute boot is sloooowww!!  90 seconds is even slow on a new laptop.  My 4.5 year old Core2Duo at 2GHz with a 7200rpm HD boots Windows 7, including a bunch of programs at startup, in less than a minute.  When I get a W520 I'm expecting it to take less than that.

  • [x121e] Low CPU Windows Experience Index

    Hi,
    I'm looking for an explanation of my CPU Windows Experience Index which is limited to 3,4.
    I've read some topics which linked this low index to the battery (for example here : http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x121e-ThinkPad-Windows-Experince-Index-Low-pro...)
    But... With or Without the battery, with or without the AC adaptator plugged, the CPU WEI is always 3,4.
    Does anyone have the same problem ?
    @++
    Flippy18

    Hey Flippy18,
    I would suggest you try a 90w adaptor, we know that you don't have I7 processor so your issue isn't exactly what was in the forum thread you linked too and I read. Yet the same holds to you that any computer that thinks it has less power it will clock itself down to conserver power.
    Here is link to a 90w adaptor if you don't have one.

  • Lost Beats Audio Control Panel, Windows Experience Index and HP Power Manager on fresh install...

    HP Pavilion m6-1035dx, product B5S06UA#ABA
    Please help! I installed a 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD and a fresh install of Win 7 home premium 64-bit OEM. I did not reinstall the factory OS and all that goes along with it. I have managed to reinstall all drivers (it seems) but am having the following problems: 1) I have installed IDT HD Audio Driver sp56953 but it does not provide the Beats Audio control panel, any idea how to get it? 2) The Windows Experience Index will not provide a performance evaluation, something in the system is providing it with an error message when it attempts to rate the system and it stops. 3) I have installed HP Power Manager sp57398 and can bring up the control panel but the changes I indicate will not stay applied, when I bring up Power Manager again it show that no selections are made. I knew this fresh install was going to provide headaches, please help if you can. Thanks.

    I suspect this may all be related to a common cause.
    When updating the windows experience index, what is the error message you receive?
    Has the video card driver been installed? It is necessary for the windows experience index to complete.
    Also, ensure the HP Software Framework is installed.  It is under the Software Solutions category.  
    You did a clean install of Windows 7. Has all the software and drivers for Windows 7 from HP been installed? Here is a link should you need it.

  • What are the Windows Experience Index numbers for Windows 7 running on a MacBook Pro 13 Retina Display?

    I am curious to know what speed those running Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display are obtaining.  I am interested in purchasing a MacBook Pro 13" Retina (i7) and will be running Windows 7 frequently since some of my business software only runs under Windows.  I have heard that the best PC is a Mac.  Just wanted to confirm the Windows Experience Index values are for those MacBook Pro users are seeing when running Windows 7.  The Windows 7 Experience Index numbers include one for Processor speed, Memory (RAM) speed, Graphics speed, Gaming graphics speed, and Primary Disk speed.

    Hi - I connected my superdrive but it does not seem to be working - now all I get is a black screen with the prompt - no bootable device; insert boot disk and press any key.
    Any thoughts on this? I put an ISO image on my desktop and also created an image on a USB drive - however it has encryption software on it which did not get overwritten so Im not sure if this is why that won't boot.
    Does anyone know if the Superdrive can't be used?
    My macbook is 3 weeks old - it is all the latest and greatest stuff...

  • New GMA500 driver: 4.3 Windows Experience Index!

    Intel has a new GMA 500 driver with MUCH improved Aero performance out. The old Windows Experience Aero Index with driver build #2013 was 2.5. With the new build #2019 it's 4.3!
    You can download the new driver at the fit-PC site http://www.fit-pc2.com/download/win7-drivers/ 

    True, there is not much of a difference. There are also still some flickering elements (e.g. the + in Google Chromes tab bar). On the other hand, Aero with transparency off isn't any slower than Basic (only slightly more sluggish when fast scrolling in a browser). The Aero display quality is better: When you quickly move windows, they leave trails under Basic. Not so under Aero. In Excel I sometimes get black "artifacts" under Basic. With Aero it is all good in Excel.
    The boot process with Aero is different to Basic. When the desktop appears, all tray items and services are already loaded. With Basic it is like in old Windows versions where the load process still continues when the desktop is displayed.
    Intel obviously still has some work to do on the driver. For the time being I leave Aero on. It also looks much better with the UI animations and Aero Peek is handy.
    This #2019 driver is the maintenance release 2 for the one on Windows Update. Nokia should refresh the driver on their support site. Most of the others there are also out of date.
    My WEI ratings are 2.3 (processor), 4.3 (RAM), 4.3 (Aero), 2.3 (Games), 4.4 (HD)

  • Radeon HD 6750M - Sudden drop windows 7 user experience index scores and performance in Battlefield 3

    Ok I have a strange problem regarding the performance of my graphics card Radeon HD 6750m in my bootcamped window 7 and maybe in OSX,here's what happened.
    Firstly I noticed this when going to load up Battlefield 3 which has been ruining fine on low settings since it first came out, but today i loaded the game as usual and when i started playing i noticed that the performance had completely bogged down to about 1 fps and had became unplayable so had a look at the video settings and they were all the same (set to the lowest possible) so i quit the game and restarted the game/machine a couple of time but no change, still completely unplayable for no apparent reason.
    So next a checked my Windows user experiance index number and notice that windows had detected changes in my hardware so i ran the test again, previously my scores were
    cpu: 7.5
    ram: 7.6
    graphics: 6.9
    gamming graphics: 6.9
    Hdd:5.9
    overall score 5.9
    the new test results came in and every things else had stayed the same apart from the two relating to the graphics had some how changed, the new results were:
    cpu:7.5
    ram:7.6
    graphics: 3.9
    gaming graphics: 5.7
    overall score
    I was completely confused how such a drop in performance could happen as i have not changed any of the hardware? is almost like the performance has halved relating to my gpu.
    I have tried reinstalling drivers but still no resolution
    I was wondering if anyone else had had this problem and what the possible causes could be and how a could fix this
    my hardware is:
    MacBook Pro 17-inch, Early 2011
    Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
    hdd: 750 GB

    Yeah its all very strange, in my opinion it must be something to with the drivers. After I had relised that something had seriously changed with my hardware setup in the way windows recognizes the graphics card, I tried reinstalling different versions of the drivers for the AMD Radeon HD 750M and one version gave me a small improvement of about 0.2 in the windows user experience thing scale in the category that scores the graphics (cant remember which version the driver was was as it was a spur of the moment thing) so could be a driver problem but it was working fine using the preview drivers AMD provided on their web site before.
    I have also tried using the the original disk that bootcamp created during the install to re-install origianl divers (basically all the necessary drivers for windows to recognise hardware in Macbook Pro) and that never made any difference.
    This also happened before the windows update that you wrote about Cuziuzi (its was an optional update for the windows 64bit) because I installed this after battlefield 3 had died on me thinking it might resolve the problem.
    on a sidenote steam is refusing to lauch games on osx and i'am the process of re-downloading the game again to  try and fixes the issue (have only got L4D2).
    I am going to look into it tomorrow and try to figure out what the problem is and post some info about drivers specifications and some more clarifying information.
    Hopefully my GPU is not in the process of dying on me after the constant heat bombardment it has to endure thanks to Apples great design philosophy of visual aesthetics over functionality, fingers crossed Battlefield has not fried it!
    Also cziuzi what's ur hardware specs?

  • Windows Experience Index lowers score after updating Nvidia driver?

    Any idea what it mean?

    It does indeed fluctuate. A difference of 0.1 can probably be attributed to random error.

  • CPU rated as low as 4.0, normal or abnormal? T410 system ratings by Windows Experience Index

    I got my new T410 this morning. After initialization, I ran the win7 rating program, got low scores. Someone told me the CPU score should be over 6.0. My question: is the following score of the i5-520M CPU normal? It even changed to 3.9 after I updated the windows and ThinkVantage. Something I missing or something wrong? processor:             4.0
    Memory:                  5.5
    graphics:                4.4
    gaming graphics: 5.2
    hard disk:               5.9 The main configurations:Intel Core i5-520M Processor (2.40GHz, 3MB L3, 1066MHz FSB)
    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64
    Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD - AMT
    3 GB PC3-8500 DDR3  

    I assume you ran both assessment with the AC plugged in?  (Mine won't run when on battery). I would check the ThinkVantage Power Manager settings, specific to the plan you are using. There's quite a few. As well, there are additional settings in Windows Power options, under "Change Advance Power settings" And finally, you can check the BIOS under Config -> Power. Many of these are mirrored in ThinkVantage tools. My i520M gets a Processor rating of 6.7. I have the 65W power brick.

  • T420 low windows experience index

    MTM T420:  4236-P2G
    WEI:
    Processor: 7,1
    Memory: 7,5
    Graphics: 4,3 ONLY
    Gaming: 6,5

    i have all drivers up to date, BIOS updated recently and the WEI didnt change ... why is this so? any ideas?

    The WEI and Optimus act a little funny together. Your numbers look normal for Optimus Mode. In Optimus, "graphics" part seems to only use the integrated HD3000 (because the HD3000 is the default graphics chip) and the "gaming graphics" will use the NVS4200. If you want to see the score go up, change the BIOS options to turn Optimus autodetect off and put it into nVidia mode only. If you do that, you'll see that your graphics will go up to about 5.2.

    Alex,
    You can pretty much ignore WEI for the most part. Of the many various benchmarks around, that is one of the least telling indicators.
    PPBM is good to see how the various components of your system are performing in addition to how you have configured where various files are stored, etc. You need to however run the PPBM5 test no though to make useful comparisons with published test results.
    Your C drive performance does not impact either PPBM5 scores or real world editing nearly as much as the working drive or drive arrays where your projects, media, cache, scratch, and exports are stored.
    I don't personally use CrystalMark but the read/write scores for 4k files looked very slow for a RAID 0 array. Make sure your caching policy is set up for maximum performance (disk properties / hardware tab / properties / policies tab / enable write caching & turn off windows write-cache buffer flushing).
    Regards,
    Jim
