[WIN7] Show us your WEIng! (Windows Experience Index)

My work PC:

Proc: 6.4
RAM: 6.4
Graphics: 3.6
Gaming Graphics: 5.3
Primary HDD: 5.9

HP dc7900, C2D E7500 @2.93, 4.5GB RAM, 160GB HDD, NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290 256MB (for dual screen goodness).

The Graphics score is probably so low because it might still be recognising the onboard video. I'd be interested to know whether disabling onboard video will make a difference.

edit: I'd say so, because the laptop I'm working on atm with "Intel HD Graphics" gets a 4.5 for Graphics. That only has 64MB dedicated memory.

 

My OS drive is an Intel x25-m, my WEI is not affected by the 4 x WD green drives that are also installed.

 

I'm curious. You and Bucknaked (scroll up) have the exact same SSD yet he scored 7.6 and you scored 7.3. Does the board/SATA controller have an impact on performance?

7.6 to 7.3 seems a bit of a jump. Also, I'm getting an X-25 for the spare rig but tossing up between a V and an M so hopefully I will see me around.

 

yeah I noticed that too, to be honest I have no idea and my only possible guess is our PC's are very different in hardware.

Bucks -
Phenom X2 550BE unlocked (4 cores) @ 3.7
Gigabyte MA90FXT-UD5P
Patriot DDR3 (7-7-7-20/12800)
HIS HD4870 IceQ
Intel X25-M 80GB

Mine -
Intel Q8400 @ 2.66Hz
Gigabyte EP45_UD3R
Corsair Dominator 8gb ddr2 @ 1066
Palit GTX 460
Intel X25-M 80gb.

 

I can only think the mainboards? Maybe ones on a 6GB/s connector and the other is 3GB/s?

 

they both appear to be 3GB/s boards.

 

can you rerun the test again? Is it possible you were sold a V series and not an M series?

 

Mine is the intel SSDSA2M080G2GC.

I just re-ran WEI, same score.

 

Probably disconnect everything but the SSD and test? Otherwise I got no clue

 

Pookey is right, it's based on your primary hard disk.

I just discovered mine was running at 5.9 because I had less than 1Gb on continguous free space on C. Now that I've freed it up I'm back up to 7.2.

 

I see. So the actual space obviously effects the performance of the SSD and thus this is what is effecting the scores on the identical drives.

 

Buck has 10gb free more than me, I will move some crap off mine and try it again.

 

Yep, it seems so.....or at least that was what was happening on my system. I just couldn't work out why my score was sitting at 5.9. Needs that 1Gb of free space.

 

Interesting, Ive moved some stuff off mine to increase unused capacity...

Right clicking/properties on each item left (Programs/Windows etc etc) I count a total of 25.2gb.

but right click/properties the actual drive and it says I have used 39.1gb..

Any ideas on where this extra 13.9gb of stuff might be hiding ??

 

Partitioned your hard drive?
Automatic Windows page file? Though a 14GB difference is somewhat weird (don't think Windows would go that crazy).

Mine say the same (for just the C: which is 74.0GB free)

 

Definitely sounds like pagefile to me. Depending on how much ram you have.

 

pagefile is set at 4gb, ram = 8gb

 

Accounts for 4 / 14 GB. So where's the other 10GB?
Did you open the MMC in Windows?
There might a system reserved partition? Mine (on C: the SSD) of 100MB, I doubt that you'd loose 10GB from that. Maybe the % format that is done on the drive? Like its a 120GB SSD but after format its only 112GB

Don't forget about the hibernation file. Run the following command using administrator privileges if you do not want to use the hibernation feature at all.

Code:

powercfg -h off
