Windows Experience Index - Let's Compare


Recommended Posts

Common sense, 10 would be the max.

There is no max. It could go on forever as performance keeps increasing. It'd be stupid to have a max rating. What if a PC 3 years later scores a 10? What will a faster PC score? The whole idea of the rating is that you can know which games you will be able to run/enjoy.

The max is actually 5.9

Which has always seemed strange to me considering within a year or so PC's will be hitting that number.

Unless they have "5.525" or some stuff

Actually, common sense would suggest that there is no max value (similar to any other benchmarking utility out there). Technology is constantly evolving and increasing in performance. The faster your components are the higher your score will be. It is however possible to have a lowest score.

Why is my RAM measured in Memory operations per second rather than amount?

i have 4GB ram and only get 4.8?

Every other screenshot i've seen has amount there, not the operations/sec.

edit: oh. you have to look at the report thing. got it!

Well my lappie actually doesn't do too badly, naturally it's the graphics keeping it back:

Processor: Intel Core Duo T2300 - 4.6

Memory (RAM): 1GB DDRII RAM - 4.5

Graphics: ATI X1400 at 500/400 - 3.7

Gaming Graphics: As above, - 3.8

Primary Hard Disk: Seagate 5400RPM SATA - 4.4

Overall Rating - 3.7

On average the computer would rate at about 4.3 or so, not too bad for a sub $2500 notebook (Australian price).

I know a lot about computers, but nothing about processors. I have what the Windows Experience index describes as simply "Pentium 4 Processor @ 2.40Ghz" and it gives a score of 3.4, which is my lowest score. I see others in this thread with a P4 at 2.40Ghz and getting much higher scores, like Vincev: Processor Intel? Core?2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz = 5.2. Man i wonder why my P4 sucks so much lol
