GeForce gtx 260 WEI shows as 1.0?

[scawn]

Seen in the capture below, the video card is showing as a 1.0, while I expected at least 5.0...

the only place this shows to be a problem is while playing halo 2, the game plays choppy to the point where it is almost unplayable. This is odd however, because it seems to do fine in Dawn of war, DDO, and tribes vengeance. I ran a benching program and the card did fine, fps of 280 something, but vista can't seem to sort itself. We are about to get borderlands for this pc, so we wanted to get this problem fixed first.

So far I have installed and reinstalled the newest nvidia graphics drivers, mobo bios, and chipset drivers, and this has me just about stumped.

Can anyone help me get the computer to recognize and use the graphics card?

Have you tried just re-running the assessment? This happened to me once with an older driver, and by doing so my WEI was restored to its correct value.

I actually just went in and

Try this:

1) Navigate to your:

C:\windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore directory. It contains backups of your experience indexes.

2) Delete the contents of this directory.

3) Rerun the Eperience index.

It appears that I had ran it about 9 times, to answer your question.

results to follow shortly....


>=] it worked.
