Hi Guys,

Below is my setup:

AMD A10-7700k
Cryorig M9
Gigabyte GA-F2A68HM-S1
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 1866MHz
Seagate 250GB + 500GB HDD
FSP Hexa+ 550
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Cooler Master K280


I'm wondering why my WEI score is very low, particularly in Windows Aero:

Processor: 7.4
Memory (RAM): 7.4
Graphics: 5.3
Gaming Graphics: 6.5
Primary Hard Disk: 5.9


Given that the A10 has 6 GPU cores, I was not expecting a very fantastic score, but at least a more decent figure.

Is there something wrong with my setup?

Windows Aero is a stupid benchmark tool. I have seen people with excellent gaming setups score pretty low on there as it doesn't take many things into account. If you truly want to get a good rating and comparison for your PC parts run a UserBenchmark. It takes about 60 seconds and it tells you Desktop, Gaming and Workstation scores and how your parts are doing against others of the exact same type, give it a shot. :)

Thank you for this. I was just wondering why Windows scores it too low. My previous setup was an A4-5300 APU & a R7 250x GPU, and the score was higher.
