wth, low vista score Hp dv2000

this is too low i think for my vista -,-
wat score do u guys get

 

I get 3.2 for my dv2000t.



Anyways, you need to stop making so many anti-Vista threads. You've made like 3 that I've already seen, and they're pretty much redundant and/or incomprehensible.

 

Click on Windows Experience Index, then post a pic of that and I will tell you why.

Chances are you are running a Nvidia card which don't have halfway decent Vista drivers as of now. Jon gets 3.2 with his Intel integrated graphics which is the same score as my Nvidia Go 7400 talk about depressing. Whose fault is it?

Nvidia's.

 

I've got about nine anti-Vista threads on him right now...please, either stop complaining or ask us for help.

Anyway, a lot of those scores are going to be impacted by current (poor) drivers. And 768MB of RAM...no wonder... Integrated card doesn't help either...

Real question you need to ask yourself: does it truly feel slower and is it really slower? If no, then don't worry about it. If yes, we'll help.

 

I really wish people would stop complaining about WEI scores. They are relatively meaningless for any comparitive purpose. A couple of examples:

1) An AMD system with 1 GB of DDR-400 RAM and an Intel system with 2 GB of DDR2-667 RAM get the same RAM score (a 4.5).

2) An Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 and an Intel GMA 950 get the same score (about a 3.2).


As for the OP's score, I'm sure its caused by his GeForce Go 7200. I get a 2.7 because of that card. I'm not sure why his is lower (probably because it looks like he only has 768 MB RAM), but I can't imagine anything else being that low.

But, again, WEI isn't a "real" benchmarking tool, and comes up with scores based on very odd criteria that don't mean much in reality.

 

i get 2.7 for mine too. not complaining because its way faster than my previous lappy. but just curious, how do you get to go higher?

 

Honestly, anything less than 1GB of RAM won't cut it with Vista no matter what MS says. Vista uses around 600MB at first boot, so only having 768MB is a limit right there. Plus, complain about an arbitrary score when it affects only YOUR laptop and not everyone elses, indicating a unique problem that we can help you with. Otherwise, go harass nVidia, your score isn't going to improve any other way.

 

Mine is a 2. I have the Turion x2 w/ 2gb mem, nVidia. Essentially low score for gaming. This is just an average score. Some parts (don't recall) hit at 5.

 

Give updated drivers a try. I did it on my X1700 and the score jumped from 4.3 to 4.4.

 

I get 4.3 because of my RAM for some reason, it's 2 gig, but it's slow I think

Everything else is at 4.7

 

I get 2.0 when "Aero" interface is on, and 2.7 without it. I hope newer drivers will be available soon.

 

Your graphics card is going to primarily define the score you're getting. In your sig you have a DV9220US so naturally your score is higher than the OP's with a dv2000 series.

 

I just installed Nvidia's beta drivers from laptopvideo2go.com. No more corruption when UAC comes up and the total memory available to graphics went from 303mb to 527mb. The scores stayed the same though, 3.3 Desktop Graphivs 2.7 Gaming Graphics.

Come on Nvidia, I know you can do it.

 

Realize that a Geforce 7200 is a bottom of the barrel video card and isn't going to get very far in gaming. In my old laptop, I only got a 4.4 with a Mobility Radeon x700 128MB. Drivers might help your score a bit, but don't expect miracles. Also remember that you should consider your score in relation to what other people are getting. A number by itself is meaningless.

 

True, the 7200 is a low-end card, but it is certainly better than the integrated GMA 950. The fact that my gf's dv6233se (GMA 950) gets a 3.0 and I get a 2.7 (with 527mb available to graphics) tells me that this is a driver issue. Under XP, the Go 7200 scored double the GMA 950 on all benchmarks.
