Window Experience Index Scores

I'm in full agreement on both statements; until my granddaughter demands that I supply her with the best of gaming capabilities it's not a priority.

Considering my system, do you have any recommendations/preferences regarding graphic cards under $200.00?

Micro Center - Radeon HD 4670 1024MB GDDR3 PCIe 2.0 Graphics Card - $110

Micro Center - Radeon HD 4670 1024MB GDDR3 PCIe 2.0 Graphics Card - $100

Micro Center - IceQ Radeon HD 4670 512MB GDDR3 PCIe 2.0 Graphics Card - $80

Here's mine, not really that good.

Looks about the same as the one for my laptop, so hardly anything to complain about. Unless you were looking to do some heavy gaming, and then getting the graphics score up WOULD be a good idea :D

 

[LordJohnx3]

Well that's it.:huh: I don't know how to get it higher.

 

[EwanG]

Well that's it.:huh: I don't know how to get it higher.

If you have a desktop system, the easiest answer is to get a new video card. However, one other option is to check the control panel for your current graphics card, and see if it has an option to turn down quality in order to increase performance. I suspect you are currently set for either Quality or "Balanced" since your desktop aero performance is higher than your 3D performance (not that it is a solid rule that the two should be the same, but it is a possible indication that your 3D performance could be better).

FWIW...

 

[LordJohnx3]

Okay, thanks.

 

[ooweirdoo]

5.9 on every heheh

 

[fadedrs]

Windows 7 increases the score up to 7.9

well anyways the one i have running in VMWARE does, so that is why my scores are so low.

 

[Mike Hall MVP]

A few more nVidia driver updates and I won't have a score..

Prersently 3.5 and falling..

 

[grimreaper]

Here's mine ...runs great:D
