I just bought a new PC and ran the windows experience index rating and
received a 3.0 for the graphics part. I don't know how that is possible, here are my specs. EVGA 790i Ultra SLI Motherboard C2D 8400 @ 3.0 Ghz processor 4 x 2GB Supertalent 1333Mhz memory at 8-8-8-18 for 8GB total XFX Geforce 9800 Gx2 1 GB video card Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate and some other stuff. I have another PC which has a score of 5.6 for BFG 8800 GTX 768 MB video card 4 GB ram 800 Mhz 2.4 GHz processor OCed to 2.9 Asus P5N32-E SLI Motherboard Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium How is it that my new PC is scoring less on the video? Any suggestions before I return the video card? rofl I didn't manually install/upgrade my direct x, do you think that may be the problem? |

Did you load the drivers from http://www.nvidia.com? You might load those on
there and see if it improves. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button.

Do you have any 3D games that you can run and get frame-rates? The WEI may just be off. |

Darn, I do not think that will run on Vista 64, not even in compatibility mode, that's a shame. |
