Just purchased a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500GB to expand the bottleneck on my current system. Being that I'm beyond busy and don't have much time, I had the IT guy at work(probably the best out of the Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems IT support team) perform the install. He went ahead and cleaned everything up and set me up with Windows 8.1. System performed great, so now to hit the benchmarks. First I hit the infamous WEI score. As expected my hard drive score jumped from a 5.9 to a 8.0, but to my surprise both my graphics score were much lower....like 4.6(intel, battery life) and 4.3(AMD performance).... I ran the driver updates and managed to bump the scores to 5.9(intel) and 5.2(AMD). Last time I checked the lowest graphics score was 5.9(intel) and 6.9(AMD). Weird right? It dawned on me; the AMD card I just updated was a 6770M, NOT the 7690M XT the computer originally came with! Did my IT guy really just switch the cards or am I crazy??? I need your input before I accuse him Monday morning.
