Windows Experience Index lowers score after updating Nvidia driver?

Before updating driver, I had a score of 5.1
I installed the latest driver from Lenovo website, refresh the score, now it shows only 5.0???
I am running on Windows 7 Pro (x64)
Nvidia NVS 3100M
Driver date: 19 April 2011
Driver version: 8.17.12.6721
Driver source: Lenovo
Any idea what it mean?
Best

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

Windows Experience Index goes down after updating GPU driver

The Graphics # went from a 4.9 to 1.
Why is this?
Machine Type: M90z AIO ; Product: 3091CTO (Custom), CPU: i5-650, Video Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics, Memory: 4.00 GB,
Network Card: Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000 BGN, OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

It might help members to help you if they knew which Lenovo system you posses, maybe you could post this information or even better post the type and model number.
Thanks

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 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.

Qosmio F30-117: How Vista calculate Win Experience Index Graphics score?

My F30-117 has a Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600. WIE gives this a graphics score of *4.9* based on the following info:
Total available graphics memory 399 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 128 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 271 MB
However my G40-108 has a Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT. WIE only gives this a graphics score of *4.4* based on the following info:
Total available graphics memory 1791 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 512 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 1279 MB
Anyone know why? Both PCs have the latest drivers and all available Windows updates. Both are running Vista Ultimate. If anything I would expect the scores to be the other way around !

Hi
The Windows Experience Index Vista feature that is designed to help better understand
how Windows Vista and other software will perform on your computer.
As far as I know the scale of the Windows Experience Index ranges from 1.0 to 5.9.
A higher base score means that your computer will perform better as a computer with a lower score.
I dont want to explain the whole features because there are many useful Microsoft pages which already provide such informations:
Check this:
[Windows Experience Index: An In-Depth Look|http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/pages/458117.aspx]
or this MS website:

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...

[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.

Y510p and problem with Update Nvidia Driver

Hi everyonei have problem with updating my y510p lenovo laptop nvidia driver ,my current nvidia driver version is 327.62 which i download from lenovo website,Now for better performance in new games like gta v and witcher3 ,i decide to updating nvidia driver,first remove my nvidia graphic driver from add or remove then download nvidia ver 350 from nvidia official web site , which nvidia website confirm it support my graphic card which is Gt755m , then i install new ver and during install i check clean install , after successful install , restart laptop , then there was problem . when i try to open nvidia control panel it wont running and an error showed up and said "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU" .i try to open a game , game running in really low fps and i find out game run on hd graphic of my laptop and my nvidia graphic wont run .The only way to repair was i install my last nvidia driver 327.62 and run a system restore .guys what is your suggestion and how i can update my y510p nvidia driver ?Thanks

Hi Y510Man,
     The video graphics installation order is important. You need to install the Intel Graphics first, and then do the Nvidia. IIRC you should un-install the Nvidia driver, then re-install (or upgrade) the Intel HD Graphics driver. Reboot, and install the new Nvidia driver.
     I don't know why, but every time I upgraded my Y470 Nvidia driver, I had to use this procedure. First install, or re-install, the Intel driver, then install the Nvidia. You can't just upgrade the Nvidia driver without a re-install of the Intel. I think it has to do with the Optimus setting, and the automatic switching.
    Let us know how it goes.
Cheers

Windows 7 will not let me update the driver for my iphone 4s so I can see it in iTunes. Any suggestions?

Windows 7 will not let me update the driver for my iphone 4s so I can see it in iTunes. Any suggestions?

You turned off all firewall and antivirus ? You could try downloading the update via a browser - what device are your trying to download the update for ? If it's an iPhone 4 :
GSM / sim card model
CDMA model
Then in iTunes press and hold the shift key on Windows when clicking the Check For Updates button which should let you navigate to the downloaded file

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)

[SOLVED] KDE won't start after Xorg update(nvidia driver)

After update, I disabled hotplug, with :
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
kdm starts normally, i can write login/password, i see kde boot splash, then desktop shows and after about 10 secs it is killed and goes back to login screen.
I think the problem is with hal, because (Xorg.0.log):
(II) config/hal: Adding input device Video Bus
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed
(II) config/hal: Adding input device Video Bus

Well, I rebuilded my xorg.conf with
Xorg -configure
and it started working, even with evdev driver, just had to add
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
in section "ServerFlags". I'm not really sure what caused that error.
