These scores are out of line to me ?
Processor 6.0
memory 7.1
Graphics 6.5
Gaming Graphics 6.5
Disk Data Rate 5.9

Specs are
M/B ecs 780g ultra
CPU Amd 7550 Stock at 2.50 ghz
Sapphire 3650 512mb with gddr4 memory
1tb Western Digital Black Edition Drive
4gig of gskill 1066 ram all at stock

It seems windows puts me in line with computers much more powerful than mine so I dont know how much stock I would put into this as a benchmark tool ?
 
Processor: 6.8 (E8400 @ 3.51)
Memory: 7.0 (4GB DDR2 @ 1040)
Graphics: 7.7 (HD 5850 @ 775/1125)
Gaming Graphics: 7.7
HD: 5.8 (74GB WD Raptor 10k)

Weird thing is that my graphics scores have ranged anywhere from 6.0 each to 7.0 to 7.7. Very unpredictable.
 
Huh...

Looks like MOST people running a single hard drive NOT in raid cannot get better than 5.9. Thats exactly what mine is too.


 
4.5 base, Yonah @ 2.0ghz, 2GB RAM, Mobility X1600, 120gb 5400rpm drive... surprised at the score actually, this is a travelmate 8200
 
I'm not in front of the the PC in the sig, but despite my scores being between 7.6-7.9 my overall score is stuck at 5.9 because of the hard drive score. WTF are we supposed to do; put in RAIDed SSDs to get an accurate representation of the machine's capabilities?!?

On my 32-bit Vista Dell XPS 1530 laptop - 2.2GHz C2D/3GB RAM/250GB HD/8600M GT 256MB - I get:

* CPU: 5.1
* RAM: 4.8
* Graphics: 5.6
* Gaming: 5.3
* Hard drive: 5.1

Considering the Vista WEI had a 1.0-5.9 scale, a laptop HD is proportionally higher-rated than our desktop drives. Odd.
 
question, I'm running the 64 bit RC1, and my HD score is 5.8, I have a 500 gig drives that's about 4 years old. HD Tach is giving me pretty bad scores on my benchmark, like 70 megs max, 20 min. Obviously the Windows score isn't accurate at all, anyone else notice theirs being far off the mark? There are HD's that score almost 2x on everything in HD Tach and they only get 5.9 scores.
 
Everything at stock speed (3.0 Extreme):

CPU 7.2
Memory 5.5
Graphics 7.3
Gaming Graphics 7.3
HDD 5.6

Any thoughts on the low memory score? I had Outlook and Firefox running during the test. Could be it.
 
i7 920 @4.0GHz
6GB G.SKILL DDR3 1600
Radeon HD 4870 1GB
Intel X-25M G2 160GB

Processor: 7.7
Memory: 7.8
Graphics: 6.0
Gaming Graphics: 6.0
Hard Disk: 7.6

I think something's wrong with my video drivers, although I'm using ATi's latest. My 4870 previously scored a 6.6 on the RC.

Something is wrong. My setup is like yours except 4890 1 GB, 12GB ram and a OZC 120GB SSD. My scores are:

Processor: 7.4
Memory: 7.5
Graphics: 7.6
Gaming Graphics: 7.6
Hard Disk: 7.3
 
^^ yes, something is wrong, but I doubt it's your drivers. More likely WEI. Check what your GPU clock speeds are in GPU-z before, during, and after running WEI. My 5850 gave me scores of 6.0, 7.0 and 7.7 on various runs. And the WEI also caused my clocks to go down to 400/900 (and stay there after the test) from the stock 725/1000.

WEI did indeed do some weird stuff with my clock speeds. It put them down to 500/750 sometimes, but when it was under max load they seemed to stay around 790/1000 (my overclock). It still scored a 6.0. But whatever, it still performs just fine.

My hard drive score went from 7.6 to 7.8 with the new Intel X-25M G2 firmware though, woohoo.

Not bad, but not great. This is using the 7100 Release Candidate mind you. I haven't ordered the official version yet.

I would put very little faith in them, I just re-ran it on mine because I thought they had to be incorrect. I have a 500 gig HD that's a good 4 years old and I'm getting 5.8, seems like non raid 5.9 is the max. There's no way in hell my HD is even close to yours speed wise. It you get 5.9 with a WD Black I should be getting a lot lower not a fraction of a point. Also your graphics score's the same as mine but I have a 4850 1gb, which should be a faster card. I'm not saying Windows just makes up random numbers, but something's fishy with mine.

I think it just generalizes and doesn't do a thorough test of any components.

Then what good is it? My HD score should be something like half of his, and my video should should be much higher than his. We're not talking about very similar components here specs wise. I could see a WD Black and 7200.12 putting up very similar numbers. Or a 4870 scoring close to a 4850. There's No way in hell my HD should benchmark even 5.0 when my Max read speed is close to, or maybe even slightly slower than his minimum read speed. My HD got the the same score my friends VelosiRaptor did that's hilarious.
 
Processor 7.3
Memory 7.3
Graphics 6.9
Gaming Graphics 6.9
Primary Hard Disk 7.4

Q9550 (stock), 8GB DDR2-800, 8800GT, Intel 80GB X25-M G2

I suspect the disk score might be a bit higher based on some posts in here, but my trusty old IP35-E doesn't support AHCI mode. 🙁

The short version? For stupid people who buy a Dell or Gateway PC and don't know the specs. They can compare a performance score of 4.5 to the performance score that is recommended on the back of the latest "Games for Windows" game(s) and decide whether or not it will run on their PC. It is simply a marketing scheme to make things simpler for the people who know nothing about computer hardware.
