That is a hell of an overclock.. isnt that E6300 a 7.5 multiplier tho? Is yours unlocked? What kind of cooling do you have?
 
I only get a 6.1, rig in sig. WTF is my GTX 280 SSC only reging as 6.5... my raid is only a 6.1 that I can understand.

same questions here, i'm sure the P45-UD3R helped him like it did with me. sick board!

the hard disk score is plain stupid in my opinion, 600GB is HUGE capacity for any user, even a hardcore gamer, but seems that in MS opinion, you need to have tons of pr0n, pirated movies and music to take a full score.

so that 6.8 means that GTX 285 is not fully capable of running windows aero :D
 
Build 7100:

For the stock-speed system, i7 920, Asus P6T Deluxe, BFG GTX260OC (186.18 driver), 3x2GB GSkill DDR3-1600, 2xWD6401AALS RAID-0

Primary hard drive is RAID0, primary partition is short-stroked and about 6 months old now (benchmarked today):

The last time I checked mine, it was 5.9:

Q6600 at 3.4GHz (3.6GHz in the cooler months)
4GB Corsair DDR2-800 (one kit died, did have 8GB)
EVGA GTX 275 Superclocked (tested Win7 originally with BFG 8800GT OC)
150GB Raptor X (soon to be replaced with at least one VelociRaptor, probably two in 0)

I also have a pair of 750GB Seagate .10 drives.
 
A few questions about experience score:

1. Why 1.0-7.9? Why not 1-5 or 1-10 (this one really bugs me because I hate it when things aren't in whole numbers and even)?

2. What does it take to get your HDD above 6? Most I've seen is in the 5 range.

3. Is it even possible to get the max score of 7.9? If so, has anyone seen it?
 
For one thing, I don't see why people put a whole lot of stock into the Windows score to begin with...it's not very important. Want proof? I had my GTX 275 running at 705/1647/1188 and it gave me a 5.4 in one of the graphics benches, it gave my 8800GT a 5.9, a card with less than half the shaders, roughly half the frame buffer, and slower clocks. Makes a whole lot of sense.

It started as 1-5.0 (I believe) with Vista, they raise the top number every once in awhile. I would think to get into the 7 range with hard drives, you'd need an SSD, a fast one, or two.
 
I think everyone uses it just because its the most common benchmark.

Not everyone has a copy of Crysis or HD Tune or whatever the latest 3DMark is, but everyone has this and its guaranteed to be run the same way on each system (with the same build number).

Yeah, but it's SEVERELY flawed...

Its not about the hard drive capacity. Its more about the technical hard drive specs itself. The latest and first generation SSD's get about 6.5-7.1. I've seen a RAID 5 setup with 5x1TB HDD's get 7.4 (which is unusual) but right now the WinSAT benchmark in the RC released every month is buggy. We should all benchmark our scores untill the Retail comes out.
 
Code: 
Processor:         7.6
Memory;            7.7
Graphics:          7.3
Gaming Graphics:   7.3
Primary Hard Disk: 5.7

       Overall:    5.7


Primary Hard Disk :mad:
 
I got a 3.4 on my laptop right now. The video card (8400m GS is what is holding me back).

I have the same HDD but yet my score is less. Is there an additional setting I should've set or something in the bios?

Do you have a first generation or second generation drive? What controller are you running the drive on?
 
lol, I downgraded from a GTX 285...upgrading my pc can eat it

installing intel matrix storage drivers (raid drivers) enables ncq on newer drivers and make a pretty big jump in my primamry hd score.

also I've seen my video score jump from 6.0 each to 6.8 simply by running the benchmark twice in a row =p

Also, there is a bug still in Vista (and Windows 7 RTM) in the MS SATA drivers that causes timeouts and hangs.

I would definitely suggest installing the Intel Matrix Storage driver, not only for performance (enabling NCQ) but also in case you're having hangs and timeouts w/ your hard drives.
 
Wait, then jump on the new Intel SSD and you will win. hehe:p
 
6.2 limited by 150GB Velociraptors in RAID 0..

Otherwise 7.3s for graphics and 7.5s for processor and memory..

Specs in sig, no OC on the i7 920..
 
5.9 because of my hard drive. Otherwise it is 7.3 for CPU and RAM, and 7.1 for graphics.

I think I can live with these numbers for quite some time, though I might spring for an SSD once I decide I need to reinstall my OS.

specs in sig, lame about the low hdd scores, i wonder if an ssd would really be faster though..

someone mentioned drive timeouts without using the intel drivers, i am using them but my D drive times out all the time, it's a raid0 of two 750gb WD 'blue' drives, 7200rpm 16mb cache.
it's super annoying, my c drive is fine though.. any advice on how to fix that?
 
lol, that's worse than my Atom. :D I gave up trying to run W7 on my netbook. It just eats too much battery power and doesn't snap as fast as XP.

That is my Dell Mini 9. I think I am the only person getting a 1.7 score for the processor, others get 2.0.

win7 Runs great on my mini. Fast and responsive, more responsive than Win XP Home that came on it.
 
FWIW, here's what my NC10 got in 7.

Despite those scores, it's just not as snappy as XP. Battery life suffers in 7 too.
 
Processor: 4.2
Memory (RAM): 4
Graphics: 7
Gaming Graphics: 7
Primary Hard Disk: 5

Base Score: 4
