What's Your Windows 7 Windows Experience Index?

[zeroberto]

Or maybe to update the drivers to the latest one, it is 186.18.
BTW I'm running the 7260 version of win, if you have 7100 or so it might be the reason.

 

[renz496]

when changing driver from 185 to 186.18 my graphic score goes from 6.0 to 5.9 (win 7 build 7100)
right now i'm using build 7201 and the score is 6.7, driver version: 186.18

Hmm...interesting results...I did update the graphics drivers. So the CPU is down an GPU is up, only by 0.1 though.

Mine:

* Windows 7 64 7229
* 3.2 GHz Intel core i7 965EE CPU (overclocked to 4.2 GHz)
* Asus P6T Deluxe Motherboard
* 12 GB Triple Channel DDR3-1600 Patriot Memory (overclocked to 1866)
* 4x Patriot Warp v3 256 GB SSD drives in RAID0 configuration
* 2x Diamond Viper ATI HD4870 X2 video cards in CrossFireX configuration
* 2x Maxtor 147 GB Atlas SAS drives (15K RPM) in RAID0 configuration
* 2x Dell 3007WFP 30 inch monitors (2560x1600)
* Combo SATA Blu-ray/HD-DVD burner

Incidently, my system is at the very top (At 5588) of the Performance Test 7.0 submitted scores when I was running Vista on it... way, way above everyone else:

http://www.passmark.com/baselines/top.html

I've since topped that score with Windows 7 by getting my CPU to run stable at 4.2 GHz, but passmark won't publish it because it's already in their database and they don't allow duplicates, even if it is run on a different OS. My CPU is an engineering sample (Intel gave engineers free samples if they contributed significantly towards Nehalem), with a CPU ID string that sticks out like a sore thumb.

i got 5.9 with graphics card being the lowest
higest was memory it got 7.9
processor got 7.3

running:
amd phenom x2 550 unlocked to four cores. overclocked to 3.2ghz
1 tb western digital hard drive
nvidia 9600 gt
6gb of ddr3 2000 g-skill ram
on a gigabyte ma790xt-ud4p

I get 4.2 on a 3~4 year old comptuer:

AMD 64 3800+ (2.2Ghz)
2GB DDR 400mhz
250GB HD - Maxtor 7200
GeForce 8600GT

My lowest score was a 5.5 with my graphics but i didn't install any of my drivers so i am sure i would have a little higher score with my 8800gtx drivers installed cant remember all the other scores though.

Its nice to see someone using Maxtor hard drives still these days and those are some pretty nice scores you have there.

I just ran Passmark myself and was interested by the results. My PC only got 1392.8.

Mine was not too bad.

3ghz g0 Q6600 | 4x1 GB DDR2 Ram @ 533 | GA-P35-DS3R | 8800GTX @ Windows 7

I don't know why my gfx card memory reads 2303mb and why my GTX performance was higher than guys who had the same one and got only 6.0.... (maybe you have vista?)

My Dell XPS M1330 is a bit strange.

MS Windows 7 Ultimate

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Cpu T8300@ 2.40GHz 2.40Ghz
Installed memory (RAM): 4GB DDR2
System Type: 32-bit OS
Graphic: NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS

I think it shouldn't be that low. Do you guys know what happened? I reinstall my Windows many times and it came out the same scores. WHY??

Hello all. I'm sorry, this is a bit off-topic and a first-time post. Please bear with me.

A few of us are playing a game and we are starting to wonder how our respective computers stack up vis-a-vis one another regarding some effects we observe in the game. So we're wondering if there was a benchmark tool (ideally across all platforms, but I guess realistically across Windows XP/Vista and 7) that acts similarly to the Windows experience index by providing a clear, concise overview of, well, one's performance experience?

I guess those of us on Vista and soon Win7 can use the Windows Experience, but some are on XP and we'd like something that is comparable?

Thanks

Hmm.. thanks, I think.

Perhaps I assumed too much in my initial post. I wanted something *simple* like Windows Experience, I wanted something free, like WE, and I didn't really want to start calculating PI to the nth decimal place, nor do the game we are talking about (a simple flash game) have any built-in benchmarks.

I really wanted something that just put one big number (and a few smaller numbers for the components) on my screen.

I looked at the list you gave and some have to be bought, and all look very complicated. and it would be expensive if each of us had to buy the same program just to run a simple benchmark.

Thanks anyway.

3DMark 06, the trial version is free and will give you simple numbers. A good overall benchmark for the computer.

Here's link to download so you don't even have to look for it.

You rock, dude.

Average.... looks like I need to change out that old hard drive to keep up with the rest of the stuff......

just some older parts............ E8400, 4GB DDR2, ATI 3580, WD 250GB HD, Bla, Bla, Bla ......
then there is this when I first installed XP and cranked it up to 4.7GHz, Not like now throttled down to 3.6GHz:

 

[alex_tdr]

Ugh... I don't think that I'd have posted that. However, in the real world, WEI has no real bearing.

Hi, i have a problem that my Dell XPS M1330 has a very low WEI, but i think it shouldn't be that low. I reinstall my Windows many times and it came out the same scores.
