Microsoft Releases Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 - Page 2

TheMailMan78 · Feb 23, 2011, 02:50 AM

My GPU score dropped like crazy. It went from 7.7 to 7.4.

Edit: Nevermind. Just ran it again and Im back to 7.7

trickson · Feb 23, 2011, 03:08 AM

Well my ratting dipped like mad and it sucks . But I do not understand why . Why would it take a huge dive like this and stay like this ? It doesn't make any sense at all.

try testing again like mailman.

otherwise, they changed the ratings. mines capped because my C: partition is too small, its a worthless test anyway.

Did anyone else notice that there was some space freed up on their hard drive?? I loved how it did that with Vista.

chaotic_uk · Feb 23, 2011, 04:37 AM

my rating did not change either , it down loaded 87.9mb for the service pack for me yet had 920mb in backup files . whats going on ?

backed up updates that you already had, that would have been included in the SP anyway. it just centralized the backups.

disk cleanup removed them and i ran win update again , system did not need them as it said my system is upto date . if the updates were in the service pack then why did it only dl 87.9mb ? , it removed nearly 1gb of files

clearly, you dont get how the web updater works.

it didnt download those updates because you already had them. it saved you bandwidth in doing so.

you always could remove the uninstallers/backups from a windows update or service pack to save space, but you lose the option to uninstall it and revert to prior to the updates. it wont need to redownload anything by doing so because it doesnt remove the updates - it removes the backups of BEFORE the update was applied.

thx for clearing that up for me

Anybody know if KB971033 (the phone home one) installed with the SP1 package? Yes, my copy is legit.

A buddy has a legit copy also but installed kb971033 last year and because of it, had to call M$ to revalidate his copy. Happened twice, without any hardware changes either.

Yes, it is part of Windows 7 SP1: Hotfixes and Security Updates included in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1.xls
Open file and click on the "Update List" tab at bottom of MS Excel window to see list of KBs.

I even uninstalled it to no avail it has not changed so I reinstalled it ! OH well I guess I will just have to suffer with the low rating .

You're ram should have not gotten that in the first place probably.

My scores the same as you're s yet its a lot faster (1600mhz)

Perra · Feb 23, 2011, 08:12 AM

Well my score went up on the graphics and gaming graphics, from 6.5 to 7.5... a bit much for a 4870... these scores are so irrelevant

erixx · Feb 23, 2011, 08:13 AM

MS can change (and has done it in the past) their silly ratings system. It's uncool anyway, who cares!

Feb 23, 2011, 08:30 AM

So what's changed anyways. Not the bla-bla from MS site, the real deal??

better support for the 'advanced format' drives, and some fixes for HDMI audio problems after sleep/hibernate/restart.

other than that, its pretty much windows updates + hotfixes that were already available.

DigitalUK · Feb 23, 2011, 10:41 AM

my processor score went up .1 point all others stayed the same.

Yeah no change still reports it as 5.9 what a crap test this is . I do not see why it would change this much even in vista I was getting 7.5 along with what the CPU would get . Oh well no big deal any way .

That reclaims about 3GB of diskspace

How do i do this? I Typed in the search programs "Dism", when the program showed i clicked on it and it just ran a quick dos style screen and disappeared. And i mean quick. Couldnt do any of the other options.

You need an elevated command prompt. So type 'cmd' into the search, right click it, and choose run as administrator. Once it comes up paste the dism line into it and hit enter.

It's a bit advanced if youve never used command line before but it works !

Did the actual performance of your RAM decrease, or did Windows 7's opinion of your RAM decrease? If its performance stayed the same, then Microsoft's rating is pure bullshit, and you're getting worked up over nothing.
