Low Index Score on Vista

I just finished installing vista ultimate 64-bit via bootcamp after spending about 2-3 hours hunting for drivers and now everything works! I can even control 2 out of the 4 fans! Now comes the moment to shine--the test. It logged in fine and the test seemed to finish quite fast (under 1 min 30 sec), but the score is only 4.8 with the lowest being my memory... I have a 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM, 256 Nvidia 8600m gt video card, 160 GB 5400 rpm HD, and the lowest score is my memory? Is anyone else having the same thing happen to them?
I installed aftermarket memory from Mushkin (2 x 2GB sticks), but I really hope thats not whats putting it down. All in all, vista 64 runs seamlessly and everything is in working order, but I just had to ask out of curiosity. Thanks.

Yep, it's going to do that with 667MHz RAM (or even with faster 800MHz RAM if the memory controller on your model of Mac doesn't run 800MHz RAM @ full speed).
Frankly...and this is from quite a bit of experience...don't fret the number. I have machines that are also Intel based and give a lower memory score...but they still smoke my AMD machines that score 5.9 on the Vista RAM test. The Vista system assessment is nifty, but, I wouldn't use it as the end-all, be-all for rating the performance of a computer.

W520 low WEI score, & poor performance

Recently I bought a used Thinkpad W520 model:4284cv4 from Ebay.
What the problem I am encountering is about the low performance this W520 laptop performs. I have also the X200 on hands, it looks like the performance is even better with SSD for both laptops.
I am disappointed because I suppose this is the best laptop in the world with the best keyboard.
You can see that the WEI score for processor is very very low, 4.9 only.
It's unbelievable anyway. It should be above 7 or more!!!
I also check the ways to optimize the WEI score on this forum but it doesn't give a help for my laptop.
I found that the CPU loading is very easy to raise up to almost 100%.
Can anymore one here to do a favour for me in the last day of 2014????

I had the same experience with my W510. Please refer to the follow threads:
Lenovo Community
Microsoft Answers
There is somethign particular to the WEI analysis that it does not enable TurboBoost or SpeedStep technologies available to the processor; at least not in my case. I monitored the processor during the WEI analysis and the processor clock was supressed to it's minimum 930MHz core speed (native 1.6GHz, and 2.8GHz TurboBoost) on all four cores for all tests.
My solution was to clear all the prior analysis (see the Microsoft link), and to then install and run Throttlestop before starting a fresh WEI analysis. This prevents WEI from throttleing back the processor. I went from a processor index score of 4.8 to 6.9.
Once I was done the analysis, I uninstalled Throttlestop -- or simply quit using it. I had run other analysis to demonstrate in day to day use, the system and applications were accessing the processor technologies, and everything was working as it was supposed too.

Upgrade suggestions 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.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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.

X121e ThinkPad Windows Experince Index. Low processor score.

I have got a X121e Thinkpad, the i3 2367M processor version. With the laptop plugged into the mains with the 6cell battery removed I ranthe Windows Experince Index. The score I got for the processor was just 3.4 other users have reported theirs to be much higher. Why is my score so low, only had this machine a week. I was told it could be because I was using the laptop with the battery removed, could this be the issue? I had a different brand of laptop before and it never affected it so I had to ask.

Without the battery, and running off the 65W AC adapter only your thinkpad will automatically clock down your CPU. If you run the test again with the battery with or without the charger your score will be around 5.2.
The answer can be found here..http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/ThinkPad-CPU-runs-at-reduced-maximum-clock-spe...
If you wish to have maximum CPU clock speed without the battery fitted you will need a 90W AC adapter. I bought an original Lenovo one off fleabay for 19 quid. Job done.

W520 long boot time 1 min 30 sec and low Windows Experience Index score 4.6

Hi
W520 said is EE (Enhanced Experience 2), booting in 1 min 30 sec !! that's long for me !!
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.

AMD Radeon HD 8650G + 8750M Dual Graphics and lower WEI score... and keyboard "softness"

HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC
AMD A10-5750M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
16GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 8650G + 8750M Dual Graphics
Hello I just purchased this machine. Given are the basic specs. Why would the AMD Radeon HD 8650G + 8750M Dual Graphics score a 5.9 on the WEI when my two year old hp with an A8-3500 with the 6620G + 6750M scored a 6.5.. I am wondering if this new machine is actually graphically slower. Any Advice?
Second question: Is it normal for the envy to have a soft spot in the keyboard where you have visible flex. while pressing the W, S, A, D, E there is visible deformation. All the other keys seem solid.
I am debating returning this machine already. Any help.

Are you comparing WEI scores from the same OS??? That is Windows 7 to Windows 7... Windows 8 to Window 8... or Windows 8 to Window 7???
Comparing scores generated by different generations of Windows doesn't mean anything. Notice that the scale on Windows 7 runs from 1 to 7.9 and Windows 8 runs from 1 to 9.9 . Notice that the graphics scores for both 2D and 3D graphics are lower on Windows 8. Windows Vista, 7, and 8 all use different parameters to determine the scores.
Also, the architecture of the APUs has changed a little of the past couple of generations. And an 8750M and 6750M are basically the same GPU, so the scores should be roughly the same when using the same driver and OS for a comparision.

Need help... GPU very low benchmark scores... my MSI Board the bottleneck?

Both the GPU is on a default clock speed.
Things I also notice
During benchmark or gaming, GPU2 is 15c hotter
I experience some glitches during gaming, like in Far Cry 3 the NPC movement goes retarded SOMETIMES (for example when they try to do something, their animation gets glitched and its like they are moving back and forth ultra fast) - have only played the game for 30mins but I could see this happen to NPCs.
Also in Crysis 2 and Assassin's Creed 3, sometimes the graphics goes retarded like in AC3 the walls and the characters gets rumbled up while in Crysis 2 the graphics gets some artifact - The problem gets solve if I restart the game. It happens sometimes.
Well I just disabled SLI and tried another benchmark on each card (moving my monitor cable to each GPU)
Each card averages around 980 Score at Heaven. Ultra Quality and Extreme Tessel at 1080p 8xAA. And I think this is kinda low? Because I saw other people have around 1300 iirc.
Right now while Heaven is still at the background
GPU2 TOP
Graphics 405 MHz
Memory 324 MHz
Temp 45c
GPU1 BOTTOM (Testing this GPU)
Graphics 1306 MHz
Memory 3505 MHz
Temp 72c
When I tested GPU2 TOP the results are similar except I think GPU1 is around 38c
Please help me out, what should I do?
I'm thinking maybe my motherboard is bottlenecking my GPUs? I have OC Genie ON at 4.2Ghz. Using both GPU on the native x16 slots (base on the manual).
Please help.

Sometimes a reflash can straighten things out. Recommend to reflash using M-Flash BIOS + ME option with the archive given here;
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=169796.msg1253345#msg1253345
Re-install the ME driver after the flash.
What does GPU-Z show for GPU1 and GPU2 for bandwidth? Recommend to place the cooler running card closest to the CPU when running SLI.
Have you tried each card individually in the PCI-E5 slot as well as in the PCI-E1 slot? If in PCI-E5 both run fine at 8X with no issues noted, you might try another SLI bridge.
With a Z68 and 2700k, GTX 480's (reference) in Gen2 SLI, 1920X1080, 47X, 1866 RAM, Heaven 4.0 test was 1604, Valley was 2709. With GTX 680's in Gen2 (reference) installed, Heaven was 2554, Valley 4674. There is definately something wrong if those GTX 480's were beating out your GTX 770's.

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.

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?

MSI GTX560ti Hawk low 3dmark11 score

I recently purchased MSI GTX560ti Hawk. I ran 3dmark11 on it and on performance mode, I only got P1650 score. The graphics score is very low and the FPS averaged around 6-7.
Here is my specs:
Asus P5Q motherboard
Gigabyte Odin GT 550w PSU
Intel Q9550 oc@ 3.67GHz
Kingston DDR2 2x2GB @ 800MHz
Intel X25-M 160GB SSD
MSI GTX560ti Hawk
I know the package box suggested using a minimum 600W PSU but I managed to boot into windows and play games with my 550W. I can run Assassin Creed Brotherhood and Shogun 2 on very high graphic setting.
Could the very low 3dmark11 graphics score due to the low PSU power supply? Please help
Thanks!

I just bumped the core voltage up block by block from +0 to +150 on Afterburner 2.2.0 beta 3.
I tested Heaven DX11 benchmark on all of those voltages and there were artifacts in all of them (running VGA default clocks). But there were less artifacts as the core voltage went up.
Is my PSU not supplying enough power?

Is my PSU not supplying enough power?
could be , but basically should be more than enough if the stats can be trusted.
Test the VGA in another machine[who has a better PSU, with strong single rail] then see how its goes there

MSI R6850 low 3dmark06 score

Hey, I build a new PC about a month ago and I noticed that my graphics card isn't reaching it's potential about 16463 3DMarks. I didn't figure out how to put my specs below but I'll post them here.
Motherboard: MSI 785GM-E65 bios version: 2.BO
Processor: AMD phenom 2 x6 1055T 2.8ghz
Memory:
Module 1
2048 MB Kingston DDR3 @ 667 MHz
Module 2
2048 MB Kingston DDR3 @ 667 MHz
GPU: MSI R6850 PM2DIGD5 driver version: 8.801.0.0
At first the results were way worse, I couldn't even play a game like CoD:Black ops, then I noticed the motherboard didn't detect the CPU and gpu decently so I updated the bios and got major improvements. But I have this feeling that something is still not the way it should be and I cannot figure out what it is.
CPU get's detected as 800MHz btw, but I guess that's just AMD's cool & quiet? It's not like I cannot do anything with this score, but if I'm overlooking something here please help.
Thank you in advance.

my 3Dmark 06 score was 17409 and that was with the MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5. (single card not in CF).
You have the 6850 (16463 3dmark) vs 6870 (17409 3dmark) and the Screenshot ? HD6850 or HD6870 ? (16983 3dmarks). Average to above Average Scores depending on PC System and any OverClocks of CPU.
My old CF setup of HD 3870's 3Dmark 06 High score was (17988 3dmarks). Meaning 1- HD 6870 is very close to being as good as 2 - HD 3870's in CF.
So imagine what you would be getting with 2- HD 6850's in CF.

I have run a sandra memory bandwidth test on it and I think he gets really low scores for his spec.
int buff'd 2657
float buff'd 2656
This is the scores he gets un tweaked and not overclocked. Do these sound like reasonable out of the box scores??
Any information would be appreciated

not 100% true either beacuse if you then run encoding apps etc which are mem bandwidth dependant the 3C would own. it is not true to say they are not real world results, just games and most apps dont bottleneck on the mem bandwidth.....now that is will be different on 64-bit coding but of course the A64 would still own the 3C on them.
just for the record i would never buy an intel.
