Hard Drive is the limiting factor on the W7 Performance Score. Any single mechanical HD is limited to 5.9. RAID can achieve a higher number. Above 5.9 the score focuses on random reads and random writes, both of which HDDs are not good at. A single high end SSD will hit around 7.5. RAID SSD will obviously max out the score.
 
CPU 6.3
MEMORY 6.3
DESKTOP PERFORMANCE 6.9
GAMING GRAPHICS 6.9
HARD DRIVE 5.7

Any ideas on a hard drive upgrade that will get my base score over 6? something not too pricey
also getting ocz platinum XTC 4GB kit to take my mem up a notch 🙂
how do i post a pic? new to this forums
 
Astrallite what OS are you using?
Going from windows 7 build 7100 - 7600 just a few hours ago took my graphics and desktop performance rating up from 6.1 - 6.9

That's silly. That's silly, my storage drive is holding me back then.

Even a high end 15K Cheetah runs around 120 write/130 read range with 5-6ms latency, and < 1MB random reads/writes. The difference compared to a 7200RPM hard drive (100/100) isn't that high on the grand scale of things.

RAID HDs will push it to ~200 read/~200 write range which is obviously significantly faster and is good for another 0.5 points or so.

The newer SSDs have ~270 read, 0.1ms latency, and random read/writes in the 20MB/s or greater range which is good for a full point.

RAID SSD will push the reads to the 450+ range and that's where the score completely maxes out at 7.9.

7201 I believe.

I bet that RAM drive could get a 7.9 🙂. And A highly OC'd GTX 285 or HD 4890 might approach 7.9.

I think the score is pretty logarithmic which means you'd need a significant amount of extra power to get those extra points. Even LN2 cooled GTX285 on a suicide benchmark run probably won't get even close to 7.9; 7.7 might even be a stretch.
 
of the two systems upgraded to build 7600 so far my graphics rating using asus gts 250 went from 6.1 - 6.9 desktop and gaming and using 9800gtx+ 6.0 - 6.5 and 6.6
 
Just built my new system and this is the rating:

Processor - 7.4 - i7 920
Memory (RAM) - 7.5 - 12GB
Graphics - 6.9 - HD4890
Gaming graphics - 6.9 -HD4890
Primary hard disk - 7.3 = OCZ Vertext 120 GB

The Radeon HD 4890 is the limiting hardware at this time.

I was only able to get a 6.9 with my HD4890. Is that at the stock speeds?

Odd. Once I did an in place upgrade from RC to RTM, the graphic scores both went up to 7.6. My final score is 7.3 overall which is still limited slightly by the SSD and then the CPU.
