Just How good is your PC?Windows 7 can tell you.

Bullpoop!


My 2 GB Radeon 6970 scores 6.4, and a 1280 MB Nvidia 470 scores 7.8? I think not. It doesn't seem to take into account overclocking, or much else besides - it doesn't even seem to differentiate between 69xx series cards. I sincerely hope that nobody takes this seriously.

Thank for posting your results.

What HDD do you have?

As you can see by your 2 different results that is a VERY useless test of pc performance. Not to be taken seriously at all.

My base score is 5.9. That means no matter how good the other hardware score is, my PC will only run programs with a 5.9 or lower rating.

I'm able to run CLoD at good FPS with this Base score.

So if anyone that test there PC with this and have a 5.9 or above base score and say thy are having trouble running CLoD IT"S NOT YOUR HARDWARE.



What is the Windows Experience Index?

The Windows Experience Index measures the capability of your computer's hardware and software configuration and expresses this measurement as a number called a base score. A higher base score generally means that your computer will perform better and faster than a computer with a lower base score, especially when performing more advanced and resource-intensive tasks.

Each hardware component receives an individual subscore. Your computer's base score is determined by the lowest subscore. For example, if the lowest subscore of an individual hardware component is 2.6, then the base score is 2.6. The base score is not an average of the combined subscores. However, the subscores can give you a view of how the components that are most important to you will perform, and can help you decide which components to upgrade.

You can use the base score to buy programs and other software that are matched to your computer's base score. For example, if your computer has a base score of 3.3, then you can buy any software designed for this version of Windows that requires a computer with a base score of 3 or lower.

The scores currently range from 1.0 to 7.9. The Windows Experience Index is designed to accommodate advances in computer technology. As hardware speed and performance improve, higher score ranges will be enabled. The standards for each level of the index generally stay the same. However, in some cases, new tests might be developed that can result in lower scores.

Note

If your computer has a 64-bit central processing unit (CPU) and 4 gigabytes (GB) or less random access memory (RAM), then the Memory (RAM) subscore for your computer will have a maximum of 5.9.

S!

Sorry, but I still say it is bullpoop. You cannot make a definitive statement on what will or will not run based on crude figures like this. There are generally game-specific recommendations (as for CloD), and they will be much more relevant.

(to answer your question, I have a 128 GB CRUCIAL SSD, and a I TB Western Digital Caviar Green Sata 2 HDD -of course, performance may depend on what is installed where)

Good to see you score high with the 128 GB CRUCIAL SSD. I'm putting in a Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive when it gets here Monday or the next day.
The only thing I'm putting on this SSD is W-7, CLoD and RoF.
This should make W-7 much faster because W-7 was set-up to run on SDD's
as is CLoD and RoF.

I say CloD is set-up to run on SDD's because W-7 is. And for CLoD to run it's best is on W-7 64 bit.

When I was first considering getting a solid state drive, I did some googling and came across an article that explained in great detail how the Windows experience index is perfectly useless for evaluating SSDs, since the index uses the drive's rotation speed as an important criteria. And of course a SSD doesn't have a rotation speed. So with that bit of information missing, all the other numbers are garbage.

I don't have the link anymore, and don't recall where I found it.

Considering it's on a score of 1 to 7.9 your system scores very high in almost all areas.

I don't know why you'd get a low score for your Disk drive. Even though it's a small partition it's over 25% free. (obviously you using that partition for the OS and not much else.) I wonder how they work out that score?


Cheers!
