WEI

[bigboxes]

I know it's pointless, but I just put together a new rig and ran the WEI. All I got is a measly 4790K. LOL

Not bad. What GPU do you have? (I find it hard to believe that the IGP in a 4790K would score 7.9 for both gaming and aero.)

The windows experience index was removed from windows 8 so not sure what mine would score, but likely similar everywhere except the CPU, the A10-7850k isn't a very powerful CPU, but it works.

I like the 7850K. Bought it for my wife. It does everything she needs and more. She doesn't game so the onboard graphics works great for her. I paired it up with 8GB of 1866 memory.

it's still there actually, only the graphical interface is gone, you just have to use cmd and Windows PowerShell to get the results.

Step 1: Open a command prompt as administrator, then type "winsat prepop" and press Enter. This will run the benchmark and store the results on your PC as XML files.

Step 2: type in "Winsat formal -v" and hit Enter.

Step 3: Open the Windows Powershell as administrator, then type "Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_WinSAT" and press Enter. This will analyze the results in the XML files, then present them as scores for each category.

yeah, I have mixed feeling about them removing it from 8 (at least the user friendly version, as I believe its still in there through commands), on the one hand its good because it was mostly useless and a bit too easy for manufacturers to cheat on, on the other it was a quick/rough way to make sure that the computer was set up properly after a first install.

a pretty big problem with the rating system was the arbitrary levels, for instance in order to achieve the maximum 7.9 score for CPU you needed to have at least 8 physical cores, didn't matter if a heavily overclocked 6 core CPU could greatly outperform 8 physical cores in almost any test, you'd still get a 7.8.

and of course GPUs maxed out at 7.9 somewhere back with Fermi/Evergreen, which would get absolutely demolished by today's flagships

Here it is, CPU scores much higher than I thought it would.

You scored an 8.1 out of 7.9 in graphics............thats a fast chip

My computer gets a 6.7 WEI because im running a single old SSD, everything else is 7.9.

its Windows 8, they bumped the max score ceiling up just like they did with Vista to 7

8 = max of 9.9
7 = max of 7.9
Vista = max of 5.9

getting a nice 8.4 accross the board (except the Disk, where it's just 8.0) on my old X58 system.

Interesting. It looks like your cpu is on par with my 965 running a GTX560 ti.
Of course yours uses a lot less power which is cool.

8 = max of 9.9
7 = max of 7.9
Vista = max of 5.9

And of course the scale is different as well, so a 5.9 from Vista isn't the same as a 5.9 from 7 or a 5.9 from 8. Because that would be too simple I suppose.

ChrisPC has an app that gives you the graphical interface back. The price is a few ads at the end to help pay for their work. My pc scores 8.1 on it lol.

Didnt know that, thanks for the info.
