Windows experience index wrong

[gamerex]

I recently got a HD3650 which wayyyyyy outperforms my old 8500GT. On the other hand, Windows experience index rates it 4.8/4.9 to my old 5.2/5.3 ? What the heck?

That's wrong for sure! I installed XFX 8600GTxxx ,got 5.9 video,5.1 overall. Drivers,maybe?....Don

it scores the lowest of all the specs like lets say if your graphics r 5.9 and your hard drive is 5.9 and your ram is 5.2 it will give you a 5.2 although the others are higher.

Does it matter? If you get better performance in your apps/games that require it then there is no harm.

Redwinger....Score should not go DOWN......Don

it will go down if the card takes up more memory or ram that the older card didnt use. i may be wrong but i think thats y. the more mem or ram thats no longwer availbe from b-4 the less the score is for that component
