so my performance index score is 5.9 and i was wondering what this scores mean ? and is 5.9 decent enough ?
these are the scores
processor 7.3
ram 7.5
graphics 7.7
gaming graphics 7.7
primary hard disk 5.9
 


those are decent numbers.
 
With windows scores your final score is whatever your weakest link is. In this case it is your magnetic hard drive.

"Decent enough" is a very opinionated term and without knowing what your needs or goals are it is impossible to answer.

Now everything else is in the mid to high 7s (7.9 is maximum) so those scores are pretty decent.
With a better GPU score over CPU the only thing I would be worried about is if your CPU will bottleneck you.

Now also keep in mind that these windows scores are nowhere close to a real measure of performance. Its like saying a car will be faster on the track because it has more horsepower.
 
The Windows Experience Index is not a good benchmark to use. You can upgrade a component and actually LOWER your score by doing so.

Also, the WEI is different for the differing versions of windows, so there is no apples to apples comparison between how your performance will be with the differing versions of windows.
 


https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B06-3uRMZNR3dGl2dGtUZUdVSFk I know numbers don't matter, but my system sizes up well 😛 Windows score is 1-9. 😛 It also cost about $3.5k
 


That is Windows 8, which doesn't have the official WEI anymore. The OP obviously has Windows 7 since 7 topped out for ANY HDD at 5.9.
 


To be precise Windows 8 DOES have the WEI. They removed it in Windows 8.1.
 


Actually that picture I sent is windows 8.1 😛 Also check out my system. The numbers are fair to what I have.
 


I just call it Windows 8. Both had it "removed" per say but you can run it anyways from an alternate method.

And the HDD is pretty low if your Samsung 850 Evo is the primary drive. It should be in the top end of the results with a SSD of that class, I know my Intel 520 was getting something in the 8s for the HDD test.
 


It was never removed from windows 8, it was just not linked to easy access through windows system. It can eb accessed though CMD commands or powershell.
