The Official "Windows Experience Index" Thread

Members of NBR like to compare their prized laptops with others.

Windows Vista has a "feature" called Windows Experience Index(WEI) that gathers information from your PC and rates your computer out of 5.9.

WEI rates these components:

Processor- Calculations per second
Memory(RAM)-Memory operations per second
Graphics- Desktop performance for Windows Aero
Gaming Graphics- 3D Business and gaming graphics performance
Primary Hard Disk-Disk data transfer rate

If you don't know how to see your Experience Index, follow these steps:

Click on Vista Orb at bottom left- Click "Computer"-Go to System Properties-"Rating"

If you haven't rated your computer before, let WINSAT do some tests. It should only take 1-2 minutes.

Now, the point of this thread. To compare your notebook's performance with others!

Please post like this:

Laptop Manufactuer and Model (eg. Dell XPS M1730)
Windows Experience score:
eg.
Processor- 5.9
Memory- 5.9
Graphics- 5.9
Gaming Graphics-5.9
HDD- 5.9
Overall- 5.9

Specs: x7900, 4GB, SLI 8800M GTX, 128GB SSD


I'll start things off:

DELL XPS M1530:

Processor- 5.3
Memory- 5.2
Graphics- 5.9
Gaming Graphics- 5.6
HDD- 5.4
Overall- 5.2

Specs: T7500, 3GB, 8600M GT, 250GB 5400rpm

Don't be afraid to share your score! At least you're able to run Vista

 

You may NOT call yourself a computer nerd if you're comparing WEI scores for performance.

International Computer Association of Nerds (ICAN): Rule 17.

What it really measures:

Processor - Phase of the moon
Memory(RAM) - Size of your shoe
Graphics - Number of crickets within 50 feet
Gaming Graphics - Conversion USD to CAD
Primary Hard Disk - Next grocery bill

 

processor: 4.6
ram: 4.6
graphics: 4.9
gaming graphics:5.3
hard drive: 4.9
overall: 4.6
t5250, 2gb, 8600 gt(ddr2) 256mb, 160 gb hdd 5400rpm

 

I know this true but "Might as well"

It is already my SIG just look down

 

what makes this thread more "official" than the other ones?

 

couldnt have laughed any harder.... my gf even thought that was funny comparing WEI scores....

 

Processor: 4.7
Memory: 5.3
Graphics: 3.3
Gaming graphics: 3.0
Hard disk: 5.1
Stupid integrated graphics

 

Processor- 76% Full Waxing Gibbous ( Current moon phase)
Memory(RAM)- 44 European ( International shoe size conversion charts)
Graphics- 0 (It's too cold here)
Gaming Graphics- 1.00160
HDD- ~20 EUR
Overall- N/A

 

Guess you and your gf don't have much sense of humour

 

Processor: 5.1
Memory: 4.8
Graphics: 5.9
Gaming Graphics:5.4
HD: 5.2

XPS1330, you have the same specs as me for processor and GPU, but our WEIs are different :O

 

processor: 5.3
ram: 4.8
graphics: 4.8 / not-overclocked
gaming graphics:5.3
hard drive: 5.2
overall: 4.8

processor: 5.1
ram: 4.8
graphics: 5.6
gaming graphics: 5.3
hard drive: 4.9

so a nice overall of 4.8, and yes i overclocked my graphic card..

 

What will a:

ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD2600 supporting HyperMemory™ technology
memory : 256 MB dedicated VRAM

score on WEI?

If it came with T7250 processor and 250gb hard drive?

Rough guess expected I know

 

we cant just guess and what does it matter this is the stupidest most pointless way to gauge laptop performance ever

 

My guess is that you`ll score. If you have a girlfriend.
Roughly.

 

• 5.4
• 5.1
• 5.9
• 5.8
• 5.2

= 27.4:confused2:

 

Pro. - 4.9
Mem. -4.8
Gra. -5.1
Gam. - 5.3
Hdd -5.3
