3.1 Windows Experience Score?!

Brand new dv6500t, after the initial setup ran Windows Exp right away..

Processor: 4.9
Memory: 4.8
Graphics: 3.1
Gaming Graphics: 4.3
Primary HD: 4.6

I've relentlessly been deleting/removing bloatware to decrease the sluggish 4 min boot-up time as well. Please share any tips to make this comp more zippy!

Intel 7300 2.0 GHz
2 GB RAM
383 MB 8400 GS video card
120 GB 5400 rpm

 

Ouch, that low. I got 3.4 on my Geforce Go 7400. You could try reinstalling the drivers or doing a fresh install

 

Processor: 5.1
Memory: 4.8
Graphics: 4.6
Gaming Graphics: 5.1
Primary HD: 5.0

for my dv 9504tx and it took about 2-3 minutes to boot and I haven't done any clean install but I removed norton and some bloatware.

Spec:T7500(2.2Ghz) , 2Gb RAM , 8600GS (256Mb), 320Gb (5400 Rpm)

 

I used to have a dv9500 with the 8400GS card and that was the score I was getting for Graphics.

 

Yeah my 6000t gets a 3.9 desktop performance with my Go 7400, 3.4 gaming performance.

 

updating the driver using this http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3380224&os=2093&lang=en will bump up your graphics score to 3.4

 

DV9000z GeForce Go7600 256meg

 

Here's my score using only a 6150:

More details about my computer


Processor AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 4.7

Memory (RAM) 1.87 GB 5.4
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 3.7
Gaming graphics 623 MB Total available graphics memory 3.0
Primary hard disk 94GB Free (141GB Total) 4.9
Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium

 

a Go 7400 only nets you a 3.4 gaming score? I'm not missing anything with my 6150 then.

 

I really doubt the 6150 is equal to the 7400. 3DMark is only marginally accurate for gaming and it goes through a 15 minute test. I wouldn't trust windows and its 30 second test one bit.

 

This windows TEST is a crap, as sometimes it shows even different results within one system without any hard or soft changes.

 

That's good to know because my dv6500t score was also 3.1 (graphics). I haven't updated any drivers yet.

 

my score went up to 3.2 after i upgraded the video driveran increase of .1 dont know how somebody went up to 3.4.

 

The difference might be the drivers being used.

I used the latest drivers from HP, then the drivers from Windows Update, and only got 3.1 and 2.4.

Using the 165.01 from laptopvideo2go.com site, I got my current 3.7 / 3.0.

If you have an Nvidia graphics 'card', see:

Also, if you have Norton or anything resource intensive running, disable/uninstall.

 

i hope nvidia and ati aren't making cheats to inflate the windows performance index. I have a bad feeling they are.

 

I also saw a jump in 3DMark benches, so I doubt it is a cheat.

 

3.7 for an Geforce Go 6150 is definately on the high side and an anamoly. From what I have seen based on what others have posted and personal experience, the Go 6150 scores around 3.1/3.0 for the graphics/gaming graphics section.

 

Thats odd becuase the crappy Dell I just sent back had the Intel GMA 3100 integrated cartd and scored a 3.5, I havn't got my HP yet but I figured since it has a NVIDIA GO7400 it would score higher.
