Windows Experience Index of 7.8 @4.6GHZ, how high do you need for a 7.9?

[Mytheos]

How high do you have to Overclock to hit a 7.9 max score on WEI with a 3770k and an Asrock Formula OC motherboard?

At stock 3.5 GHZ I hit a 7.7, lowest OC past that I tried was 4 GHZ which scored 7.8

I tried @ 4.6 and I think I may have tried 4.7 GHZ ( I know I tried 4.6 GHZ ) and still only scored 7.8

I believe 7.9 isn't obtainable. I've even seen 3960X systems get only 7.8.

Either way, i'm not sure why anyone would consider WEI relevant. It really is a horrible benchmark and shouldn't be used as a basis for comparison.

Yeah I know

WEI isnt a real benchmark and means virtually nothing.

But I just upgraded my computer and hit 7.9 on everything but CPU.

And I just wanted to drive my friend nuts by telling him I had a perfect 7.9, *laugh*

Video tutorial of how to change your WEI values, that way you can drive him nuts.

I've seen 8.6 on a SNB-E system with Win8. So it has more to do with the OS than the CPU.

For those not in the loop: Vista's maximum score was 5.9, Win7's maximum score was 7.9, and Win8's is 9.9.

...not that it matters, considering WEI is a pretty lousy benchmark anyway.

Personally in Windows 7 I get 7.9 on everything except CPU and memory, which are both 7.8.

Guys Win8 goes up to 8.9 not 7.9 ,,,, my CPU gets 8.3 and drive gets 8.1 .. 7.8 is weakest which my my graphics card. so I end up with a 7.8 score,, they take the lowest score,, but see how its matured... gl

U need a full bloated Sr-2 class gainestown processors to get 7.9

This is a 12c/24t setup at 4.4ghz.

No sb-e setup yet to reproduce that tier.

I have gotten it before on the said platform after rubyconn pointed out what u needed.

Ruby is the first person ever on this forum to break the 7.9 wei score that i can think of.

Wonder if that 7GHz 3770K can do it

Don't know. Got any LN2

Old thread, but I've done some experiments and have the answer!

I believe 7.9 isn't obtainable.

Not true; it is.

I've even seen 3960X systems get only 7.8.

That's because even 8 HyperThreaded cores on a 5960X have to be clocked up to 3.8GHz to get a high enough score in the single-thread test, whereas 2 HT'd cores clocked to 4.7GHz will do it.

Either way, i'm not sure why anyone would consider WEI relevant. It really is a horrible benchmark and shouldn't be used as a basis for comparison.

Agreed.

Not so; the issue here isn't the number of cores — (yes, with HyperThreading, you can solve it that way, but it can be done much more cheaply now with an i7 4970K). WEI's CPU evaluation scores are based on separate tests for single, double, and multi-threaded computations, and it's usually the former that constitute more of a problem than the latter.

Bottom line: you can get a 7.9 using 4.6GHz on 4 cores (on a Haswell Refresh in my case, with HyperThreading on) as long as you have Turbo boosting 1 & 2 core performance to 4.7GHz.

My 4930K @ 4.4GHz does 7.8, so clearly needs more than that...

 

[Zorander]

My 4690K @4.5GHz does not even break past 7.4

Be happy you have WEI. MS has removed it for Win 8.1.

It's a pretty worthless benchmark, honestly. I think that's why they removed it.

 

[hawtdawg]

Be happy you have WEI. MS has removed it for Win 8.1.

It's still there, you just have to use command line.

Open cmd (admin) and type: "winsat prepop"

Once that's done running, open powershell and type:"Get-WmiObject -class Win32_WinSAT"
you'll get something like this:

Here are my specs:

CPU: 3770K@4.6
GPU:780 SLI @1202/6700
RAM:2400mhz 10CL
HD : Samsung 850 Pro

Not sure why my graphics score is that low though. First time i ran it, my gpu's weren't overclocked, and the score didnt change even after i OC'd them.

 

[ehume]

Very nice. When I first put the 8.1 machine together, I read about the command line WEI. But what the tutorial showed was nowhere near as nice as yours.

And yes, it's a bad benchmark, which is why MS say they ditched it. But still . . .

 

[SteveGrabowski]

My 4690K @4.5GHz does not even break past 7.4

WTF? My G3258 @ 4.4 GHz does 7.3 on the Windows 7 WEI. Worthless benchmark indeed is there is only 0.1 points separating an overclocked 4790k from an overclocked G3258.

Oh sorry, I just checked again and somehow the score has gone up to 7.7 now. Not that I noticed any difference anyway...

 

[Zodiark1593]

Probably the only reason for WEI's existence was back when Vista was launched, and OEMs kept using igps that couldn't even run Aero properly.
