Post your VISTA scores!

[SuperSaiyan4]

MODERATOR EDIT: Note the computer scoring application for Vista is part of the Vista operating system. Leonardo

Oh the joy of seeing what the scores are only to compare with your friends and then try to beat them buy going out and upgrading whatever you can LOL! What a clever trick!

Anyhow I managed a measly 4.1 - for some reason my friends P4 3ghz got a higher score than my Athlon 64 3500+ Venice!! :eek:

I have 2 raptors together and only got a 5.9 oh well.

So what have you guys got? I know a lot of you have pretty serious high end machines and no doubt will get something amazing, not sure if the rating is out of 10 if it is then my system aint too shabby.

[RWB]

WHen I ran the beta I think this laptop here did 3.6, that is a P-M 2GHz with 2GB DDR2, and a 256MB X700 Radeon Mobility.

[Thrax]

I got a 5.6, despite having 2GB of RAM, a 3.2GHz Core 2 Duo, an AHCI SATA-II HD and a DX10 video card. :rolleyes:

[csimon]

score? :scratch:

[Byrds6]

What versions did yall buy?

[SuperSaiyan4]

Ouch must be scores out of 10 then, I heard you need at least 4gb of ram to fully unlock the potential of Vista!

I have Home Premium 64bit OEM.

[Byrds6]

Thought the highest was 5 something? Cant remember what I read on it lol. HP hasnt released any drivers for the OS yet so looks like Im going to be forced into waiting unless Vista has them all incorporated in it.

[FatFunkey]

5.9 is the highest score u can make


yes only M$ can make a rating system that goes 1-5.9

i dont have it yet im gonna wait for drivers and the release of ATI R600 and what not till i buy my new comp

[Byrds6]

Guess Ill find out what mine is tomorrow after I take Home Premium back to the BX and get Ultimate. Sad you have to dig to find out that only Ultimate ships with both 64bit and 32bit versions of the OS.

[Kentigern]

Score - where do you find this - link please :)

[Shorty]

It's part of the operating system :)

I don't have a score. Not touching Vista for a fair while. Too many things I rely on XP for (code editors, sound recording) are not vista compatible.

[Clutch]

My best friend got Vista last night and he loves it. I think he got a score of like 4.1 or something like that, I know it was in the fours. All his drivers were already installed also, he didn't have to download anything.

This is the computer in my sig, running Vista business.
When I ran Vista beta 2 a few months ago, my video card was ranked highest and my cpu lowest..what happened? :wink:

My mom's new HP laptop was all 6s except for the disk subsystem which rang up a 3.1, bummer. Gotta go run it on my laptop still..

[mas0n]

toying with Vista Enterprise 64-bit

Processor (Opteron 165 @ 2.8) = 5.4
RAM (2GB Patriot @ 216 2-3-2-8) = 5.9
Graphics (x1900xtx) = 5.9
Gaming Graphics = 5.8
Primary Hard Disk (SATAII 16MB) = 5.7

My opty feels insulted

[Jonsey]

I'm running on a 3.0ish lappy. :: seeps jealousy ::

[Weedo]

Processor=4.9
Memory=3.8
Graphics=5.9
Gaming Graphics=5.8
Primary harddisk=5.3

I have 2.5gb of ram and all I can muster is a 3.8. Peeps with less memory got better scores.

[primesuspect]

Is it DDR? The system in your sig says 512mb of PC3200. The ram speed will have a lot to do with that score :(

[Weedo]

I got 2GB of Crucial DDR400 and 512MB of Kingston DDR that I'm not positive about the speed. Just thought I'd score better in the ram department with that.

[csimon]

I got 2GB of Crucial DDR400 and 512MB of Kingston DDR that I'm not positive about the speed. Just thought I'd score better in the ram department with that.
Try scoring without the 512 and see if it changes ...just a thought.

[mas0n]

Weedo

The score is based solely on bandwidth, and according to your motherboard manual, you can only run in single channel mode with 3 sticks, need 2 or 4 for dual channel.

[lol]

It doesn't like my hard drive too much, but thats probably because I've maxxed out all the ports available for hard drives on my motherboard ^_^ I will down my clock speed to the standard for this CPU just so you guys can see the difference it makes :)

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo e6300 @ 3.1 - 5.7
Memory: 2GB CAS4 6400 1.9v @ 2.1 (Running in 4300 mode to keep timings xD) - 5.9
Graphics: 8800GTX - 5.9
Gaming Graphics: lol - 5.9
Primary hard disk: vista does not like my raid drivers sooooo... 80GB SATA2 - 5.3

This is strange, at 1.86 stock I get the same score, but before at 2.6 it was 5.4 for CPU. I think once you have a higher score and you score lower it doesn't like it and keeps the higher one so you still buy their software :P

[Weedo]

Finally got around to pulling out that 512mb stick of Kingston. My score rose to a 4.6. I guess more isn't always better. At least that stick of ram was free.

Am I supposed to be able to run Aero with a graphics subscore of 1.0?

Processor: 4.1
Memory: 4.4
Graphics: 1.0
Gaming graphics: 1.0
Primary hard disk: 5.0

Aero runs and looks just fine, games like WoW perform the same as they did in XP. Is there a problem here? My video card atm is a Radeon 9550. :confused:

I'd say the vid card is just about on par with my other components...I have no clue why I would get a score like that (and yet still be able to run my games).

[TheGr81]

Actually, after looking at the details, it seems there's ~256 megs shared system memory. I don't know why.

Copy/paste

Display adapter type ATI Radeon 9550 / X1050 Series
Total available graphics memory 511 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 256 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 255 MB
Primary monitor resolution 1280x960
DirectX version DirectX 9.0 or better

[Weedo]

I had a 9550 once upon a time. That was 3 upgrades ago I think. Just passed it down to a friend. I guess the real measure is if it does what you need it to do. But a 1.0? Sheeeesh. More power to you. :bigggrin:

[TheGr81]

After a bit of forum hopping, it looks like there's an issue with VIA chipsets and ATi cards.

*sigh*

Oh well, I guess it's fine for now since Aero looks/runs good and my games run just fine.

[RMF]

5.3 Overall :(

5400+ X2
2x 1GB Kingston PC5300
MSI 8800GTS 640MB
150GB Raptor

Actually since performing this test earlier on today 've now gone back to XP due to driver issues with my 8800GTS. I had a general loss of image quality overall even on my desktop and various graphical anomolies that affected my desktop, and certain web pages. I'll probably go back to Vista when Nvidia can sort themselves out and get our Vista ready card to function properly.

hey RMF,
you on 32 or 64? I just installed this less than hour ago and put the latest drivers (64 bit in my case) on my 8800gts (driver 11.65) and havent had a single problem at all yet.. bout to install my microsoft flight simulator X now lol to really test it....

I was using the x64 version. I just find it amazing how the overall quality of my image could dergrade the way it did in vista. Anyway, I'll wait another couple of months and reinstall it when things have improved.

I also installed flight simulator x to test it. The card I'm sure is more than capable of running flight simulators graphics with ease, but the game is not programmed to take advantage of dual core processors and ran like ****. I'm talking like 15FPS with almost everything turned up or down. Antialiasing on or off, resolution highest or lowest...made no difference. With all of the air traffic and weather settings on the lowest I could get it up to the low 20's. What a poorly coded piece of software it is.

[wingtip]

after installing flight simulator X again i noticed each time i ran the program an icon popped up in my system tray saying something about a program has been switched to vista basic colors due to its incompatibility blah blah blah... so thats pretty crappy a microsoft product is having problems being ran on a microsoft operating system...

once in game i went ahead and brought up several of the sliders to boost the eye candy but i didnt max things out cause i knew there would be a catch. and sure enough it was barely running the graphics i just boosted so its better but not much better than when i was on the xp direct x9 setup.
and it wouldnt do any good if i bought a second 8800gts cause fsmX isnt optimised for sli either.... its just typical ms crap... which is a shame cause ive really been impressed with how easy vista was to intall and how easily everything has worked so far.

one thing i did notice is my saitek x36 flight stick needs some vista drivers... vista no longer recognises 2 8point top hats.. it recognises one of them and the other as a POV. so the one top hat that i had my view left, view right, blah blah blah set to i cant anymore since vista isnt assigning as a "switch" , its assigning all 8 functions of that hat as 1 switch only...
that on top of the fact fsmX wont let you use the controller software which would allow you multiple functions being programmed to each button, switch, knob etc... so in fsmX your stuck with only assigning one feature to each thing... which is just dumb.

[marsbar007]

how did you get such a high score on memery ive got 3 gig ddr2 and only scored 5.2

[RMF]

how did you get such a high score on memery ive got 3 gig ddr2 and only scored 5.2

Size isn't everything. You'll notice if you look at the score that the sc ore is based on Memory operations per second, it isn't based on the size. More isn't always better. What speed and brand is your RAM?

[wingtip]

I love it when people dont research products before they buy em and slap em in their pc lol :D

i researched several days before choosing my hardware on this recent gaming rig.. and i wouldve went with more processor (which is where my lowest score came) if i had more funds lol...

but i think my ram was the corsair dominator 240pin ddr2 800mhz pc6400 44412. I forget all the specs now.

i imagine his is 400mhz plus has a latency of 5???

[GnomeWizardd]

I got a 5.2

you guys have high scores!!

I am humbled!

[Nedumaran]

With my Dell XPS 710, running 32-bit Ultimate:

Processor: Intel Quadcore 2.66GHz scored 5.9
Graphics: NVidia 8800GTX (768MB) scored 5.9
HardDisk: 300 MB Raptor RAID scored 5.9
Memory: 4GB 800MHz DDR2 scored 5.1:( :confused:

32-bit Vista sees only 3GB of RAM.

Are those reporting higher memory score running 64-bit?

Any recommendation on whether I should switch to 64-bit Vista? Feed back appreciated.

Thanks,

[mmonnin]

32-bit OSs are not able to see 4gb of RAM. BIOS support and a 64-bit OS should allow you to use all 4gb.
