Windows Experience Index - difference between gfx and gaming gfx

[kprime18]

Hi,

Could someone tell me what the difference is between the graphics rating and gaming graphics rating in the Windows Experience Index? Which is more important? Because my graphics has the lowest subscore of 5.8 and my gaming graphics has a subscore of 6.7.

Thank you.

graphics rating reffers to the whole graphics user interface and how you have transparent windows, how you can have peek when you hover over icons opened on the taskbar
gaming graphics reffers to 3d graphics, that would be more important if you are playing games as the more eyecandy you turn the more graphical power you need to have smooth framerates
