    Hi guys, i recently did a windows rating on my M11x-RX2 and it seems that my "graphics" score is really low (3.4 score). Im not sure if i have set my M11x wrongly. Is this something got to do with the intel HD? Performance settings? If there is, can someone please tell me whats my mistake and what settings should i use or change? :( Thanks!

    *I already used "high performance" power plan when using window rating.

    Look around the forums first before you post a question, this has been asked MANY times.

    3.4 is very normal, I only have 3.3! The Windows Experience Index "Graphics" is checked with your Intel HD Graphics, since in Windows, that's almost always what you're using anyways. If you look down at the next setting you'll see "Gaming graphics" scores much higher, as with the 3D settings, the Index rates with your nVidia card. Mine is 6.5

    I don't get it, my R1 gets a 4.1... (6.5 for both GPU tests).


    maybe either force the nVidia GPU to temp be the default GPU for everything (and rerun the ratings)?


    Either way, it's kinda moot, since WEI is not really useful in any form or function...
