I was curious what people are getting under the windows assessment? My machine is about two years old and ready for a refresh. I am running Win 8 and I know the scales are now 1-9.9 versus Win 7 which is to 7.9.

My 570GTX is holding me back however in the near future will be going to at least a 770GTX and updating the CPU and mobo etc.

cpu= i7-2700k at 4.5ghz.
memory = 8 GB Corsair dominator 1600 cas 8.
OS drive = two corsair m4 in a raid 0 stripe reading about 1100/mbps and write 200/mbps. The new SSD drives are faster, especially write.

I do not want to get into GPU futuremark scores etc. I was just curious at the base assessment compared to my machine which use to be fast. :)

I want to see Tar's new score.

Also, ATTO is a good HD benchmark tool. Most manufactures reference it in benchmarks.

Lol my desktop is 5.8 because i have old hard drives... around 4 years old... 7.6 for cpu, 7.6 for graphics, 7.7 for ram...with windows 7
 
About all WEA is ever good for is determining if there is a major problem somewhere. Had a sata controller issue on a machine once and WEA was quick to point it out.

Anyways mine on 7:

GTX 570 as well, cpu is a i5-2500K @ 4.5 Ghz.

5.9 is pretty much automatic for a mechanical in windows. You can raid 2 raptors together and it doesn't matter. Most likely beyond sequential read writes the score above 5.9 is purely about random performance which SSDs excel at.
 
Mine's a 7.8 on Win7; everything is 7.9 except the cpu which got the 7.8winexp.jpg
 
The cpu was at stock speed when I did the assessment, but I'm sure if I overclocked it that would change to 7.9 as well.winexp2.jpg

I know but it should be at turbo speeds during the test and between the architecture and the extra threading capability you might think even a shitty windows benchmark would score it higher. Difference in clock speed at turbo between the two is 13% and you figure in 15 to 20% between the two generations and tack on 4 threads with a potential to increase performance by 50%... Oh well lol.
 
Obviously i dont have haswell yet... wold switching to ssds really be worth the headache?
 
Meh, I'm not worried about it, I know what this cpu can do and the Win assessment doesn't mean much to me.

Not only yes, but HeLL YES. There is absolutely no comparison for speed. The only thing traditional HDDs have going for them is the size for cost right now. I have a 256gb for all my programs, OS, and games and a HDD just for storage. I won't ever go back to using a HDD for my OS or games or anything but storage. Try one and you'll see what I mean.

What are they marketing? They already sold you the OS. How many people are going to buy products from Microsoft's hardware partners to fix their score?

What hardware products use a WEA score on the box? WEA was supposed to help stupid people assess if they could run software from the upcoming store. Sure a hardware sale COULD result from that but such indirect marketing is not worth investing in.

7.9 held back by cpu and ram. Clocked at 4Ghz right now, planning on pushing it up a bit more soon.
 
I don't like it. It told me once I couldn't run Halo 2 even though I max out BF3 and Crysis 3.
