New one

Overclocked the computer a bit, now it's better.

Upgraded some memory and HDD

My Gaming graphics score seems way out considering it's an X2 and one of the best cards money can buy, must be a bug as I've known 4850's to score more!

The gaming graphics rating is a bit wierd, I get about 6 as well

This Win 7 Dev team blog post explains why low disk scores are occurring, as well as what's being tested, why scores have changed.

Interesting stuff.

Edit - check the comments for questions and clarifications such as "tested drive is the one on which 7 is installed" etc.

done one with the 280 still the same score

Why are graphics performance ratings so high for older cards like 8800 and even the 4870x2 which i have, but only get 7.1 for :confused:

I was wondering why my RAM only got 5.9, but judging by these results, you need more than 4GB RAM to exceed 5.9?

Actually that was the first thing i noticed when i saw this thread..... why are so many people getting 5.9 on memory :confused:

Mines cheap 6400 corsair and not overclocked :/

Yup, I have 4Gb and get a rating of 6.5, so I wonder what is the theory?, I reckon it must be down to the RAM speed i.e the Mhz as I have my 800Mhz RAM @ 852Mhz but I'm probably wrong.
Edit - Could be something to do with x86 from x64.

What mystifies me most is the HDD score and how thats determined, Size or Speed? as My 150Gb 10K Raptor only scores .6 more than my mates 200Gb 7.5K IDE WD bad boy!

My HDD is 5.9 for reference.

gonna need a ssd for high scores

HungryHippos · 8 Aug 2009 at 20:37

Hmm, do my scores seem OK? I see some other people with 4870x2 cards that have higher graphics scores and my HDD score seems a bit low considering it's two 150GB raptors in raid 0 (the newer ones).

Full Spec:

CPU: i7 920 @ 3.4ghz (3.6 with speedstep enabled)
RAM: 6GB Corsair Dominator
HDD: 2 x Raptor 150GB drives in raid 0
Motherboard: Gigabyte-EX58
VGA: 4870x2
