Windows Vista "Windows Experience Score"

Cheers for that. Jus got me thinking about it (imagine a 1gb graphics card in a notebook that actually made use of the 1gb )

 

Sys Specs appear in signature...

4.8 (and that is using the default MS nVidia driver - cmon' hurry up Dell/nVidia)

 

I had an unrecoverable XP crash on Thursday so I went ahead and installed Vista Ultimate on Saturday (I'll install XP too).

Asus A8Js

• Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2GHz, FSB: 667MHz, 4MB L2 Cache
• nVidia Go7700 512MB Discrete Memory
• 2GB RAM, DDR2 667MHz (2x1GB)
• 100GB 5400RPM 2.5-inch SATA Harddrive

Base Score: 4.5

 

Base Score: 4.5

 

I tried to run the benchmark progtam but it crashed on the video system error nv4 mini.sys error did a memory dump and rebooted the system I went to the nvidia site and downloaded the current drivers for vista but it wouldn't let me load the drivers saying I didn't have vista installed and the beta driver said my hardware wasn't supported, I have the dell xps m1710 with the 512mb geforce go 7950 gtx card so I don't know what the problem is.

 

Vista 32 Driver

Vista 64 Driver

 

Thanks WackyT it took 3 times before the download would work it kept timing out, but I was finally able to download and install the driver, I can now run the screen saver and open up the games without it shutting down. I am going to run the benchtest now. Thanks again

 

I'm the same, specs and all

 

Asus W3J: 4.9

Core Duo T7200 (2.0 Ghz) CPU - 4.9
2GB DDR2 (667) RAM - 4.9
X1600 256MB Graphics - 4.9
Aero Performance - 4.9
100GB 7200RPM HDD - 4.9

 

Wow... some of you are getting extremely good scores... especially that 4.9, DTX. Very nice. I'm sitting at 4.0 myself. Not bad, not great.

My Score is 4.5

 

My score is 3.6. Would have thought my graphics card would be a little bit better than that.

Insprion 6400
ATI Radeon X1400
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz
2 GB memory

 

That's odd... I have the same video card as you, yet my score was 4.0. How much memory does your X1400 have? 128MB or 256MB? I have 128MB.

Matt

 

7200 Core2Duo
2 gigs ram
X1400 gpu
5400 160 gig HD

This seems kind of low, GPU really killed this one.

 

I have the 256mb one. Now that seems really odd, is it my driver? What driver do you have and where did you get it from? Dell website or somewhere else?

 

Well, I have a ThinkPad, so no, not the Dell driver. I'm using the Ati driver. However, everytime I boot, Vista gives me a warning about the driver not working properly, but obviously, it is to some extend.

 

For some reason I don't think these scores are really accurate on how your computer performs on Vista.

 

Just something to make people want to go out and see what they can buy to get a perfect 5

 

HAHA. Not going to argue you there

 

Thats because I updated to a T7200 CPU from T2500 CPU, and a 7200RPM HDD from a 5400RPM HDD.

Im annoyed that Microsoft does not round my score up to 5! Com'on, 4.9 is very close to 5!!!

 

My score used to have a 5.9 in graphics and a 3.1 in ram

 

Desktop:



Somebody loan me raptor or scsi hdd and quad core so I can get 5.9 :-X

 

Sony FZ (Santa Rosa)

C2D 2.00 GHZ
2 Gig ram (533mhz)
80 gig 5400 rpm
intel x3100 (integrated)



my x3100 is on par with your x1400.... weird

 

i dont like to think that anyone would cheat but i've just found out how easy it would be!!!!

i wont be looking at anyone in the high 5's the same again, lol

just like to note that after using readyboost my base score (graphics) increased by 0.2. i was always a bit cynical about using it but i'd never tested it using performance check. its stayin in now!!!!

 

almost forgot to put my score up

i started off with an inital rating of:

SystemScore 3.2
MemoryScore 4.5
CpuScore 4.7
CPUSubAggScore 4.6
VideoEncodeScore 4.9
GraphicsScore 3.6
GamingScore 3.2
DiskScore 4.3


so now im happy with my lappy!

 

here is mine Asus A8JP 1.83ghz 2gb ram and 100gb 7200rpm HDD, Ati x1700 256mb
