windows experience index,poor?

[rippedupno1]

Hi folks,first time poster here,bought the oc eliminator 2.6@4ghz,6 gig 1600 ram,crucial 60gig ssd boot drive(nothing on but windows7 prem 64 bit) 5870 ati radeon.Iam very pleased with it but when i did the windows experience index test i was somewhat dissappointed with the results by comparision to what i have seen others get on u tube.Iam new to all of this so i might be expecting too much but to only get a 6.0 for graphics and 6.9 for an ssd hard drive seems a little low.I have the latest drivers installed and runs games and boots and shuts down really quickley.Should i be concerned?
Thank you for your help,cheers

Windows exp points are pretty useless,
use a decent benchmarking tool like PCmark or 3Dmark.

That said, your graphics rating is lower than mine - I get 6.8 with a 9600GT!

I rest my case!

Welcome to the forums

The windows experience index is irrelevant. I'm hazy on the reasons why microsoft are unable/unwilling to write a decent benchmark, but they definitely haven't written anything worth worrying about here.

beaten twice in the time it took me to write that, shameful

my 5850 gets 7.7 but the windows marks are a load of junk.

Ignore windows indexing score, run Vantage and compare online or 3d win mark 2006.

think yours is low, my Phenom II 955 get's a 3.7! and my raptor X get's a 5.9! think MS made a boo boo on the indexing

 

[Souljacker]

My phenom 955 only gets 6.6 - a teeny step up from my Athlon 6000!

My [email protected] = 7.4 OC [email protected] = 7.4 same score lol
and my 275GTX only scores a 6.5 how can that get beat by a 9600GT is weird.

Windows experience index doesn't mean anything mate.

The Graphics scores take into account the resolution you are running too. my 9800GX2 gets 6.7 @ 1920x1200, 6.8 @ 1920x1080, 6.0 @ 3840x1080.

What res are you on?
Even if it was one of those 2560x1600 I wouldnt expect a 5800 to be that low . . . unless your running eyefinity?

my phenom II 550 gets 6.8 and my corsair ram gets 7.4
ati 4350 gets 4.4 tho
