o know these count for very little, but are there any plans to release an update so that new cards or cards in x-fire get more accurate results?
im pretty sure my 2 HD5770s should get higher the 6.0
 
it does say the score is based on the primary graphics adapter

Notes

The gaming graphics score is based on the primary graphics adapter. If this system has linked or multiple graphics adapters, some software applications may see additional performance benefits.

my 5850 gets 7.8 on both..
 
No offence meant OP,but why do you care about Windows 7 Experience score its so unreliable and means nothing.

For example i have a 5870 and it scores 6.0.The experience score on both vista and 7 have never been consistent.
 
If only they could get the Windows experience scores working, they'd be quite useful to quickly see whether your pc could play games etc - only if they'd blooming work.
 
The score means pretty much nothing... my gaming PC and laptop get identical GPU scores - even not taking SLI into account a single GPU in my gaming PC is 2.5x faster than my laptop heh.
 
it would just be nice to have something that everyone would have that was an acurate scoring app to compare with.
im sure it wouldnt be that hard for M$ to release an update that would fix the issue. i managed to get a more accurate score by turning off everything from 'let app decide' and manually setting everything to max, which then gave me 7.3 which is about what i would expect, so maybe all M$ have to do is release a patch tht will set CCC and NVCP to set everything to max whilst testing.
 
I have a 4870 that scores 7.2 for Graphics and Gaming Graphics...(so some of the above scores are a bit...weird...) but the "Experience Index" thing is kind of pointless anyway, the 3DMark tests, for example, are a much better indication of performance

yeah i get that the scores are pointless at the moment, but surely even M$ would have worked that out on vista and looked at it in W7 or atleast planned a future update that would make it more accurate, else its a wasted feature. i understand that things like 3dmark are better, but they are not free for the full tests, if M$ made the effort of putting in a benchmark app, they could atleast plan to make it reliable.
 
My single 5770 scores 7.4 catalyst 10.2
My 4850 scores 7.4 too

My 5970 only gets 7.7 so about the same as a 5850 which would be about right if crossfire is not supported.
