Not sure how my GTX260 gets a higher score than a GTX280's and 275's, or how my HDD score is the same in RAID 0 as it is without it

Spot on, and that's precisely why WEI is a complete irrelevence. It's a 'software suitability' tool which software publishers don't use! If used as a benchmark/comparison tool it's about the lowest quality alternative available.

That all said, I'm noticing a difference compared with Vista which I'm wondering if anyone has an explanation for. Under Vista, with a budgetty graphics card installed, you'd get a higher WEI score for desktop graphics than you would for gaming graphics. Under Windows 7 it seems to be other way around, going by some of the scores I've seen here and elsewhere, and from my own experience as described below.

Got Windows 7 installed on my Media PC - Core 2 Duo, 4Gb, Radeon HD 4350 512Mb. Scores are:

CPU: 6.0
Memory: 6.2
Desktop graphics: 3.7
Gaming graphics: 5.3
Hard drive: 5.9

Doesn't concern me in the slightest, of course, except for the curiosity factor. Anyone know enough about the way it gets calculated to explain what seems to be a rather bizarre result?

I need new RAM

lamy · 7th August 2009, 10:01 PM

win 7 enterprise 32bit on acer travelmate 660

DRAGONKZ · 8th August 2009, 10:49 AM

Here's mine... It's not too bad considering everything is at stock settings

Hopefully when i get my new CPU cooler i can push the CPU and RAM scores up a bit

Besides that, it looks like my GTX260 is holding me back

For some reason the mobo model isn't listed in the report

I'm not sure how my 4870 gets a 6.8 when the 4870x2's are only getting 6.3's... something strange going on there

No surprises about the HDD - it's a WD 320gb that's about 4 years old now - must upgrade it one of these days.
