0 in one scale is a 0 on the other, and a 5.9 is a 7.9 on the other. Is water colder when it is 100 C as opposed to 212 F? Two different measurements means two different scales. My Aspire One netbook has the following scores under Windows 7:
#BATTLE FOR MIDDLE EARTH 2 WINDOWS 10 NO DISC WINDOWS 7#
In other words, if your hard drive score dropped between Vista and Windows 7, you might simply have a crappy drive.Īt the danger of starting a nerd d*ck-waving competition, here are my scores for my two Windows 7 machines. To take this common problem into account, Windows 7’s WEI recognises the problematic drives, and caps their scores. Unfortunately, this problem appears to be rather common, with early solid state drives leading the pack. Based information gathered through performance feedback loops, Microsoft found that a lot of disk drives seem to suffer from a problem where continuous small write operations seriously clogged the drive in question, seriously hurting responsiveness of Windows. Microsoft also fine-tuned the scoring rules, and this tuning is what makes the scores differ between Vista and Windows 7.Ī common component to see a drop in rating is the primary hard drive. This extension has been introduced due to the improvements made in various hardware components. In Windows 7, the ranges of the scores have been extended, from 1.0-5.9 in Vista, to 1.0-7.9 in Windows 7. Since the WEI tests only tests specific components, and not how they interact with one another, the figures are not a good indication for how well a system works for your usage pattern. The Windows Experience Index tests the performance of the processor, memory, graphics chip (both general and gaming/3D), and the primary hard disk. In the latest post on the Engineering 7 weblog, Microsoft explains what has changed between Vista and 7 when it comes to the Windows Experience Index. Users who installed the Windows 7 beta on machines that previouslt ran Vista, will notice that their WEI figures have changed. Windows Vista introduced the Windows Experience Index, a method of comparing relative performance of several key hardware components in your system.
