Graphics were my bottle neck too, I scored a scored 5.6. NVidia GT 640. I'm not why WinSAT was different for you, maybe the command you ran. It's also listed in the link I gave you.
Yeah, mine is Nvidia 740M - I'm not expecting any huge ones but 5.3 is bit on lower side, I had enabled high performance in NVidia control panel & rechecked still score is the same,
I ran "WinSAT Prepop" command, Is there something else?
any idea if WinSAT score are for random read/write or sequential ones? Or is it combined score?
In the recent Disk assessment .xml file in C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore shows 8.2 in random read section,
EDIT: I ran the command in Option 2 again from the link you provided, it has changed to latest values
Powershell:
hardware assessment recent .xml file:
the disk assessment score is given for both sequential read & random reads:
I've uninstalled 3D Driveguard from control panel & it is no longer in the system tray icons, and no error showing in Device manager too. You think its OK for leaving it like that isn't it? As you've told, since its no longer needed for SSDs , its not a problem I remove it from control panel?
