I can't run mine. It always hangs up on the "Direct3D 10 Texture Load Assessment."

My WEI for win 7 is 5.9, but with win 8, is 5.8, but this is down to my hard drive.

Here's mine, using out-of-the-box drivers:

They raised the max score to 9.9

I'm currently running on an old HDD which has killed the score a little.

z3r010 -> same here
even i have 2 discs merged with RAID 0

You're not going to get a score greater than 5.9 with conventional (i.e. mechanical) HDDs. Like Windows 7, to gain a score greater than 5.9, you will need to use an SSD.

I see, thanks for the heads up.

 

[Mr Sardonicus]

Performance is slightly better than Windows 7.

 

[kbronski]

Same as everyone else, the 5.9 is due to my HDD.
Not bad for a laptop purchased May 2011, eh?

Same computer only difference is the hard drive. (SSD vs HDD) The 2.0 point increase in the WEI index raised most of the scores by 0.3 points and lowered the hard drive score by 0.3 for a HDD.

Conclusion GFX cards and Processors now have an uphill battle to break the 9.0 + barrier.

It looks so strange when that index has a dot as a decimal indicator, when i'm used to comma.

That's what I said when I first saw a comma being used.

 

[SmartEyeball]

Looks like a lot of us have used spinners to install this onto

 

[chev65]

Looks like it's time to install the WCP to my SSD. Second score with my SSD, Windows 8 runs much better with the SSD drive. My score is the same as with Windows 7.

All my WEI scores has reduced when compared to windows 7.
