Gigabyte 6990 - Windows experience index

[Earth[Tera].bin]

Whilst I appreciate windows experience Index isn't exactly the best method for gauging your GPUs prowess I was expecting a score higher than 6. Prior to the 6990 I had to 6950s and the index score was 7.5.

Is the score of 6 normal?

That doesn't sound normal. My GTX 590 gets 7.9. I'd expect a 6990 to get the same.

i would try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, should be 7.*

I would try forgetting about the Windex score, and run some real-world gaming benchmarks to compare instead.

My 6950 1GB gets 7.9 . WEI is complete ********.

Yeah thought it was a bit of a bollock score, I'll try reinstalling the drivers. Then run some real-world gaming benchmarks as suggested. Cheers

LOL!

Well a clean uninstall and reinstall of the drivers seems to have sorted it out. WEI is max at 7.9.

If it's way off then it can be a useful prompt to checking that everything has been installed correctly, though at the end of the day providing it's not more than a slight anomaly, simply play games to see real world performance.
