JH2688 Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 Windows 7 has this test that assesses your components. Can someone tell me why my processors score is at a 3.7? I just got one of the best processors i could find. A AMD phenom II x4 3.2 ghz should get a little better score than that.

zalternate Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 New machine with the Windows 7 RC 32 bit.... 8 gigs of ram. 4 Gigs are seen with 32 bit. I have a new Intel Core Duo 3GHz and it comes up as 6.4 . But the good graphics card comes up at 5.3. But I have not tweaked the graphics card, until I get the Windows 7 full version on it.

coknuck Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 I can't tell you why, it don't make sense to me. I got a older Pentium dual core 1.73 GHz and got a better score than the new AMD. I am running Windows 7 32 bit. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/26362-windows-experience-index/#findComment-315420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 Maybe the test is inaccurate? Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/26362-windows-experience-index/#findComment-315423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 well...im running the real version of windows 7 home premium and here is what my laptop scored under that experience index... by the way an easy way to get to system information box is to push and hold down the windows key and pausebreak key. System -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manufacturer TOSHIBA Model Satellite A505 Total amount of system memory 4.00 GB RAM System type 64-bit operating system Number of processor cores 2 Storage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total size of hard disk(s) 221 GB Disk partition (C:) 171 GB Free (221 GB Total) Media drive (D:) CD/DVD Graphics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Display adapter type NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M Total available graphics memory 2814 MB Dedicated graphics memory 1024 MB Dedicated system memory 0 MB Shared system memory 1790 MB Display adapter driver version 8.15.11.8642 Primary monitor resolution 1366x768 DirectX version DirectX 10 Network -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Network Adapter Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller Network Adapter Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC edit/ also my laptop does play crysis on high smoothly...on very high though it gets sluggish in firefights. but all in all i believe that test is accurate for intel based systems, and amd ones it seems to go whacky on. i've noticed that Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/26362-windows-experience-index/#findComment-315424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 I don't know why it would be low as mine is 2.66 ghz and has a really high score Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/26362-windows-experience-index/#findComment-315427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH2688 Posted October 29, 2009 Author CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well, im running the 64 bit version of windows 7. I've also ran 3dmark vintage a couple of time and my scores on that were really low in the mid 2000. Could it be that something is not running properly, This test just does not make any since, people with slower cpu's get a better score than people with faster one. so far the test seem to favor the intel chips.

Blunted 2 Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 Something must be configured wrong somewhere cause that chip should score a lot higher and about what mine scores. Stock at 2.66 ghz mine is 7.2 i think and mine is overclocked to 3.33 ghz. When I shut off hyper threading my score goes down a little but I dont know what your issue can be. This is your processor isn't it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103674 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/26362-windows-experience-index/#findComment-315455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 ok here is another score I found someone post and you should be right up there so something is configured wrong somewhere.

coknuck Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 Try turning the "Cool'n'Quiet" off and see if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/26362-windows-experience-index/#findComment-315458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zalternate Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 Try turning the "Cool'n'Quiet" off and see if that makes a difference. Was reading about that one. The processor 'kinda' shuts down the extra cores to be able to run cooler and with less power consumption.

JH2688 Posted October 29, 2009 Author CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 I turned off the cool'n'quiet, but i still got the same score, my ram and hard drive score jumped up a couple of tenths. but that was it. Blunted, yes that is the cpu i got. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/26362-windows-experience-index/#findComment-315461 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zalternate Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 Need more ram than 2GB's? To ensure the speed of the CPU getting to all the parts. But I don't know how the experience Index does it's rating. As in if a smaller amount of ram can cause it to choke.

JH2688 Posted October 29, 2009 Author CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 heres the spec for my cpu. The MB seems to be using am2 socket instead of the am3. What do guys think of it Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/26362-windows-experience-index/#findComment-315464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 I don't have any idea why that is like that and maybe its a setting you can change in your BIOS.

coknuck Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 I don't have any idea why that is like that and maybe its a setting you can change in your BIOS. You beat me to it! Especially since its a combination board. EDIT: You need to update your BIOS to 1.60 if you haven't yet. http://www.asrock.com/MB/download.asp?Model=A780GXE/128M&o=All Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/26362-windows-experience-index/#findComment-315471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 ........... a setting you can change in your BIOS. This would be the first place I would be looking.

JH2688 Posted October 29, 2009 Author CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 I found out that "cpu-z" just does not recognize am3 sockets, so that is not the problem. i looked through my bios for anything out of the ordinary and could not find anything. i even cleared my bios and i still got the same result.

JH2688 Posted October 29, 2009 Author CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 well i updated my bios, i dont know what it was before, but i did it anyway. nothing changed. I think maybe these tests are incorrect, because everything else seems to be working just fine. Everything i do is really fast, everything says its working theirs nothing out of the ordinary.
