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

[yogurt_21]

I see ssd isn't enough, you have to have several in a fast raid... nice.

I've hit 7.9 with a single SSD and just a standard SATA III

My laptop through a VM without raid gets 7.9 and that is on a slower m.2 2242 (half length)

Same here, unsure about 10 though

 

[yogurt_21]

ah so it really is random...nice

I think your right

 

[Jetster]

Here's the lowest

You got slow memory man!! ..

 

[Toothless]

Does this count?

 

[TheLostSwede]

Easy...

 

[aDigitalPhantom]

I couldnt get 7.9 either.........

You're not the only one. I couldn't get 7.9.

useless WEI is useless (tm)

WEI strictly mean nothing, no benchmark algorithme nor any actual test

also nuuuuhhh why didn't that "new" user wait 4 more month .... that would have made this a 1 yrs necro now it's just a 8month one ... and a useless one since WEI is garbage for what it's worth

 

[Hugis]

just shy....

The Windows Experience Index was quite possibly the most useless tool every conceived. The numbers it produces are not only worthless, but seemingly quite arbitrary.

not really arbitrary but based on hardware stock ID ... (actually a low WEI, 1.0-4.0 just mean you bought a POS but hey ... that's only at stock ....with some OC and tweaking it can be a POC instead )

i.e. 12 core high stock clock, 1070 and above = 9.9

it read the hardware ID and use the factory information, not the actual reading also the previous iteration in Win 7 made it seems it ran some basic test .... but it did not

thought it say 8.0 with my SSD ... because that pile of sh!t of a tool think it's a "almost full HDD" and decrease the value because a "full HDD" will have decreased performances (which is not really the case with a SSD )


now lets just stop that nonsense and let that thread of the past die .... (no wonder M$ got rid of the WEI with win 8, 10? iirc the last was with 7 )

WEI is utter crap, i mean even with an M.2 SSD that scores lower than my old CPU score is WTF (alright SSD is limited by PCIe 2 speed, so it dosent performe at it max read speed). WEI is fun for the fun, but useless for real world use. But here is what my system can score of useless data

For those who might want to play with WEI in windows 8/10, look in the link below.

Simple run. This is build in windows. You just need to wake WEI from its long slumber after windows 7

This needs third party software, but is a more detailed run. This is the software above called WinAero WEI Tool.

Wei is for the average joe, not most users here.

It does a benchmark but tells whether you system could display the desktop in its entirety or game ok...

Lol, this thread, for whatever reason, is making me laugh. I'm running Windows 7 and I think I may have the third lowest score here.

CPU: 7.3
RAM: 7.7
Graphics: 7.9
Gaming graphics: 7.9
Primary Hard disk: 5.9

Overall score: 5.9 lol. To be fair though, I have a mechanical HDD, not an SSD
