    Hi,

    I'm getting a subscore of 2.3 with my nvidia card on windows7 experience index.
    all the other components have an index of around 5.5.

    This just doesn't sound right !
    I'm using the driver supplied from sony.


    also, I am feeling that everything is a bit slow (more then it should be)
    anyone ?

    You should get 4.3 for your graphic card. What specific version of drivers do you use? Did you redo the WEI test once again in Speed mode with charger in?

    Mine is 8.16.11.8735 (ForceWare 187.35) and it works quite well. I know that Sony later released 8.15.xxxx to solve some problem, but in fact the driver is older and I didn't experience any problem with the version 8.16...
