Windows index is total rubbish my graphics and windows aero performance scored 7.9 with an HD4850, bought a new sapphire HD5850 it now only scores 5s. ;-(

My 4870 was 6.8
My 5770 is 7.4

Conclusion: The rating is crap.

My 5870 benches well and is running games great, but gets a 6.0 in Windows index so I just ignore it now.

The rating isn't designed for people who would read this forum.

And for the masses gaming on a 19" TFT at or below native rez (or just playing WoW), the Windows score might just reflect their experience

Single GTX 285 gets 7.9 in both.

Besides WEI being pretty rubbish, it seems to mess up with hardware changes.

I was getting 7.7 in both for my 5850 (when my PC wasn't crashing). Replaced the motherboard and those scores dropped to 6.0...

After reinstalling the drivers a few times it popped back up to 7.7. Either way don't worry about it. The scores are unreliable and don't affect system performance.

I use a 19" tft but don't play wow.
I like my monitor.
Please u like it as well, 1280 x 1024 is plenty fine for me.

I get exactly the same scores (tho it doesn't take advantage of SLI) with my desktop GTX 260 896MB (very overclocked) and my laptop GTX 260m 1GB - which is basically an overclocked 9800GT.

So I wouldn't pay much attention to it.

Once you've had bigger, you can't go back (that sounds so gay!)

4850 scores 7.3 in both in my system...I wouldn't pay much attention to it, as said above!

My 5870 gets 7.1 in it.

hideki · 21 Jan 2010 at 16:21

My 5870 gets 7.8.
Doesn't seem like a consistent benchmark

MeMeMeMe · 21 Jan 2010 at 16:57

My 5850 gets 7.7 some of the time, and 6.0 at others.
Periodically it says, "your hardware has changed and the experience tool needs to be run again" and it switches between 6 and 7.7.

My 5970 get's 7.7 in both. A utter waste of time and complete doggies dropings

DavyBoy · 21 Jan 2010 at 17:31

When I was using the Win7 RC, my GTX280 would only score 6.6 on both graphics tests, but now I am on retail it gets 7.4 on one test and 7.5 on the other.

I have to agree with krooton, WEI is pants!!!

On win 7 64 my gtx 280 was at 7.3. The 280 is away on rma so im currently running a 7300gt, index score of 4.3. Absolute dire card, tried cod 4 on it on lowest res/settings, was slower than a slideshow. Gonna have to get a better cheap card to tide me ver till the rma is sorted.

My BFG 8800GT gets 6.8 on both
