For those of you who already have vista, you could post your performance index.
And don’t forget to add your system configuration.
I'm just curious to see what hardware gets what from this test, it probably has faults, but to rate such a heterogeneous variety of hardware is, by definition, difficult.

Go ahead! I will post my results when I build my new computer next Friday (if this thread goes anywhere, of course).

Base Score: 3.4


Processor: 4.8
Core2Duo E4300 @ Stock

Memory: 4.5
1,024 megabytes (512*512 configuration) DDR2 533 Mhz overclocked to 667 Mhz with cas latency of 4

Graphics: 3.5
Gaming Graphics: 3.4
ATI Radeon x1300

Primary Hard Disk: 5.4
320 gigabytes SATAII


The memory overclock seemed to hurt my 3DMark2001 score a bit, but helped the Windows Experience Index by .5 points.

Score really doesn't mean much to me, but what the heck, I'll participate.


Base Score - 5.5


Processor - Intel 6700 Duo (2.66ghz) - Not overclocked
score 5.5

Memory - 4gb corsair dominator series - twin2x2048-6400c4d
score 5.7

Graphics - Nvidia 8800GTX 768MB
score 5.9 & gaming graphics score 5.9

Hard Drives - 2x 150gig SATA Raptor & 1 70gig Raptor
score 5.9

Motherboard - EVGA 680i

Overclocked to 3.5ghz base score was still 5.5, processor score did not go up for some reason, but all other scores were 5.9.
Earlier tests showed the cpu at 5.8 while OC'd. Go figure.

FYI -
3dmark score was 10280 when running XP Pro

Now 3dmark score is 9816 running Vista =/

Rig in my sig gets 5.1 overall,

Edit:
@ Grizzy - You can't just say '3DMark', there are many versions!
I'm guessing you mean 3DMark '06...?
That's a great score :D

Oops my bad. Yeah I meant to say 3dmark 06 =P

BTW, re-ran the 3dmark test after closing the vista sidebar, and a few other apps, new score is 9,950.

Still can't get over how much more resources vista consumes at idle. <-- compared to XP pro

One of my patriot ram sticks died on jan 31, 2007 after i installed vista, long post beeps. Now I am limping with only one stick of ram and no overclock. Honestly I can still multitask burning dvd's, chatting, watching video movies still. Need better nvidia drivers though because my battlefield 2142 plays like a slideshow or those picture a day videos.

The theoretical max that I've heard is currently in place is 6.0... why they decided to cap it, I'm not quite sure. However, I have never seen higher than 5.9.

It means you don´t have a ruler, lol

PS: This is a somewhat silly ranking because you can have very good memory or hard drive scores (not to mention game graphics) and still get performance boosts by upgrading these components, but it's not bad at identifying bottlenecks. (And It was not made for advanced hardware connoisseurs)

Is there any way that I can do the performance index without using vista? I have no intention on using it until I absolutely have to as it stands EULA and compatibility wise but it would be kinda interesting to know how mine stacks up.



Of course, that's the idea. To see how good your computer could run Vista. The app is on microsoft.com

If you have an nVidia there is a new driver that fixes a lot of gaming issues. It's in Bet but it's stable. 100.59.

You can also try 97.46 as I used it to play D3.

I got a 4.0:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ ................. 4.0
Memory: 1Gb of DDR 333 ............................ 4.2
Graphics: Radeon x1300 pro (agp)................ 4.6
Gaming Graphics: Radeon x1300 pro (agp).... 4.1
Primary Hard Disk: Segate 120gb 7200RPM... 5.2

I'm running the Home Basic Version of vista.... and I'm really surprised how high my scores are considering that my video card is really not that good and that my CPU is almost 4 years old!

My two almost identical systems, athlon 64 3700, 2GB RAM, x1800XT 512MB, hard drives vary from dual raptors and dual 250 samsungs in one to a couple 320's and 160's in the other, all RAID0's:

Base 4.1 (completely meaningless as it takes the lowest score of the bunch)
Processor 4.1
Memory 5.9
Graphics 5.9
Gaming 5.9
Disk 5.7

I'll check my 32bit machine and post later, it's probably only a 3 :)

I wouldn't say completely meaningless, since your CPU is a bottleneck to everything else. That means something. Does it mean you'll have less of a Vista experince that someone with a 5.9 ? Probably not.

I do wonder if it will become part of a game or applications recommended index. Crysis recommends a 5.0 or higher, or to run VideoEdit 9.0 we recommended a Vista Perf index of 4.4 or higher.

But many of us will learn when working on someone's PC, if they say I get a 2.3 PI, Our first words will be 'Have you considered upgrading your system ?"

Meaningless because the cpu I have has no problems with anything today, just because it's not dual core doesn't mean it's slow. This rating will become far more important as dual core aware apps hit the market. Then I'll finally break down and get myself a c2d :)

I don't understand what your point is ? I never said you had a bottleneck.

I was responding to Michaelahess who had a 4.1 on his CPU and high 5s on everything else and said the number was completely meaningless, which I still disagree with him on. It still means his CPU is the weakiest link.

Means, if there was something out there that needed a 5.0 or higher CPU, he might be suffering. It may not mean alot right now, since we don't have any real correlation between the performance index and the rest of the world.

5.7 Overall

5.7 CPU (6300 OC'd to 3.0 ghz)
5.7 RAM (2 gigs OCZ Platinum DDR-800 OC'd)
5.9 Graphics (8800GTS, stock)
5.9 Gaming (same)
5.7 Hard disk (Seagate Barracuda 7200.10)

To hit >5.7 on CPU, you gotta have a stinkin fast chip.

Basically, to hit >5.7 on everything you gotta have a high end rig all around. Just FYI.

On a PC at work, an IBM/Lenovo ThinkCentre mod. 8136, running Windows Vista Business N, it didn't even run the test, because it couldn't detect a multimedia subsystem.

Neverthless, there is an on-board sound card, speakers, etc, etc, etc. The multimedia subsystem is fully functional, but Vista seems to disagree/ignore/whatever.

Shame on Vista.

Hi Guys,

I have a strange problem with my system performance index. It went down after an upgrade. This is making me really angry.

My Previous and current index is as follows.
please advise with me with a solutions.

Previous index with configuration :

Intel core2duo E4500 (2.2 Ghz) 5.2
RAM 2GB Transcend 800 Mhz 5.9
Graphics Nvidia PCIE 8400GS 256 MB 4.5
GAME rating 3.5
HDD 320GB Sata 2 5.9




I upgrade to

Intel core2duo E8400 (3 Ghz) 4.9
RAM 2GB Transcend 800 Mhz 5.9
Graphics Nvidia PCIE 8400GS 256 MB 4.5
GAME rating 3.5
HDD 320GB Sata 2 5.9



I just upgraded the processor, hoping to get better performance. I am very confused with the new Performance levels. It has come down by 3 points

Your graphics card is kinda weak, especially for gaming. Your overall Vista Experience score is determined by the weakest component in your system. In this case, your graphics has the lowest score, so your overall score is the same as the graphics score. You can pay $50-$70 and get a much better graphics card, and then your Vista score would rise.
