Windows Experience Index.... what does it take to get a 7.9?

Windows Experience Index... Pfft, so 2011

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Yeah...I can't even seen an option to run it in Windows 10. I think they killed it because it wasn't really useful.

there's a reader that will show it for 10 further up in this thread, but it's not exactly useful. I'm pretty sure it doesn't run any graphics tests because my work laptop which is haswell based gets 9.9 on the gpu...yeah sure. I assume no gpu test was run and so it just pops 9.9 in there by default.

the others also seem to no longer have the 7.9 cap which makes the comparison to older OS's useless.

by and large most of the modern day benches aren't useful to me. I haven't run the new 3dmark or unigen benches nor do I plan to. In the end W1z's reviews offer far better info these days and I'm not about to try my hand at LN2 to try and take on K1ngp1n and the like. The instant a sponsor came along to pay for the hardware it was all over. Even the rich kids gave pause to running their rigs into the ground to get a fancy score on a bench. After all the epeen demanded the rig still be able to run afterwards. The sponsors do not. They take video of the build and the run and then the damn thing can hit the trash for all they care.

Imagine a drag race where you want to keep your car afterwards and the other guy is more than willing to push his engine so hard the crankshaft snaps in half.

you going to waste your time on that?

so benching and overclocking aren't what they used to be.

More and more I'll clock the cpu to get a faster overall experience, but the only reason I'll clock the gpu is to hit a detail level I previously couldn't. I don't need 3dmark for that nor WEI nor Unigen, nor fraps for that matter. All I need is the game itself and my own eyes.

@eidairaman1 Move to W10 and benefit from that specs 5.0 GHz

At least the formal test gives you some metrics...if they're any help. The relation to the actual scores is something I never found out...

 

[Derek12]

Surely any current/last year high end or even mid-end computer with SSD and DDR4 should get a 7.9 in Win 7
Check this

Running on my actual computer on a VIRTUAL MACHINE which is on a HDD

 

[eidairaman1]

M6 ssd is from 2014, gets 7.9.

My laptop does terribly, inside of a VM.

Welcome to the WEI, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

Seriously. The "benchmarks" it runs are basically just gathering data on your hardware and assigning it an arbitrary number. It doesn't actually benchmark the hardware in the same way we think of benchmarking.

Also, I realize this is an old thread, but the reason you can't get 7.9 in the OP's situation is because it doesn't "average" the scores or anything. It just just takes the lowest score on the list, and that's your WEI.

 

[Jetster]

Well lets see who can get the lowest. And GOOOO

I think I have a laptop at home that's a 1

 

[jaggerwild]

Well since windows 7 is EOL wouldn't that make any new hardware score low?

 

[dorsetknob]

I think I have a laptop at home that's a 1

I have Legacy laptops that won't run win 7 guess that will rate 0 ( its a Dell p2 266 512 m mem)

I would of been more useful if Microsoft didnt decide to f**k their PC Gamer user base over by giving us the monstrosity that was Games For Windows Live and ignoring us.

Had Microsoft followed through and carried on developing and publishing games for PC with their own studios then GFWL would have made a lot more sense. They started it but they didn't finish it and GFWL Became like some big lumbering child with down syndrome that they abandoned in their deepest of caves and never talked about again. GFWL thinks its still supporting the PC platform but in essence GFWL Support couldnt help you unless the problem occured on an Xbox.

Pretty sure VMs use WARP which is GPU on CPU; hence, crappy graphics score. Gaming graphics likely gets a bump because WARP supports all DirectX rendering features in existence. In other words, all games should run on it but that doesn't mean you'll get acceptable frame rates.


Edit:

*shrug*

fuck you windows experience sh*t index cr@p $%#^&* ..!!!
no screen shot, with the listed sys spec on profile got 6.5... f*ck you Micro$oft... just f*ck you ...

Number numbers,scor scores ..

Is not better to play/enjoy with pc's i think

 

[silentbogo]

Not when game devs, like creative assembly, decide to tie up some graphics settings availability to WEI graphics score.
I'm OK with playing at sub-20 FPS... just give me my DoF, Reflections and TXAA.

 

[Jetster]

I'm going to code my own benchmark program. It will give scores based on my opinion and random meaningless numbers.

 

[Shou Miko]

This test is useless bcs apparently according to this it takes more to run Solitaire and Minesweeper than Crysis

 

[GreiverBlade]

My old Xeon used to get the 7.9, that's weird is it the AMG see if you and your specs that got that score? Because it 5 GHz I'm pretty sure it's out powering my old Xeon 1231

core number, just in case... (WEI was not about mhz but core number ... after all the windows "computer configuration information" show basic stock value and does not care about the OC )

 

[Arctucas]

Just because....

Did you modify picture? If no, what hardware?

No cheating here.
