MSI 460GTx 1GB DDR5 scores 5.8 for gaming and 5.9 for aero? That can't be right! Why is it so slow? My sis mirage 3 was 3.0...

Does wei base it on system as well because I'm currently running a pentium dual core e2140 1.6Ghz 1.5gb ddr2 ram...

hmmmnmm

I also find difficulty playing star trek bridge commander (10 year old game) due to it stopping and starting and being so slow?
 
The maximum WEI goes up to is 7.9 these days, used to be 5.9 as the top limit so 5.8/5.9 is a good score, still not the best way to measure graphics performance though. 3DMark or Furmark are better.
 
yes but even the my mobility radeon HD 5145 512mb got 5.9 on my vaio, just a little strange, dw I'm just waiting for my processor I have all my parts ready, this crappy pentium is temporary.
 
I have an E2180 in my media centre and my HD5670 scores 6.7 (iirc).

Somethings definitely not right for the WEI to be so low for that card. Try latest drivers.
 
Actually, reading up a 460 1GB should be about 6.8/7.0 so it's not performing as it should. Make sure firstly it's in a x16 PCI-E slot and not a x4/x8, then it could be a PSU supply issue or bottlenecking slowing it down.

EDIT*
which windows, as isn't vista limited to 5.9 and windows 7 goes to 7.9

This +1. Forgot to ask myself.

Windows 7 32 bit ultimate
E2140 dual core.
Power supply 500w arctic freezer three 18A 12V rails, so that isn't the problem.
Its in the x16 slot.
Drivers from Packaged CD
Btw how to I check my gfx temperature?

Yep, try downloading latest drivers.

Also, I'm not convinced 18A on the 12v rail is enough. From what I can find via google 24amps is more like the required amount. You would probably get random restarts if this was causing an issue though.
 
I have been on it and had no random restarts, it also has 3 12 amp rails which produces 420w which is more than enough,
I'm on a o2 modem because my virgin d debit didn't go through and they cut it off lol so I cant really download anything.
The gpu temp with afterburner is about 40 degrees, fan speed is at 43%
8.17.12.6101
Seems like the latest driver.
