Just How good is your PC?Windows 7 can tell you.

Curiouser and curiouser. I've just updated the Catalyst drivers from version 11.5 to 11.6, and 'Windows Experience Index' claims to have detected 'new hardware'! So I tested again, and lo and behold - the graphics scores go from 6.4 to 7.9!


Evidently, it doesn't measure hardware at all...

But yeah it's certainly not immediately apparent what the numbers actually mean, or how to usefully apply them to either hardware or software. Not a great system, but as a move towards a global 'shorthand' for system requirements, I think it's a reasonable first step.

Ok....

You shouldnt be at 6.4 with that GFX card mate...even with this inferior benchmark.. everyone here thats used it with 69## gfx cards gets 7.9

My SSD gets a score of 6.8, while my HD 4870 gets 7.5.

It aint for real.

Heres my effort and as you can see its not really representative of how COD will run. I have 4 GPU's and it only measures the performance of 1. Not to mention the game will run perfectly on my system once the code is optimised in the next 3 months. Its already very close to perfect performance wise, just the occassional hiccup stutter and sound issues that everyone is having.

slightly OT....if I added a SSD to my PC (apparently the HDD is the limiting factor according to that test) would I still get the full benefit by having COD on the SSD but Windows on the HDD?

Yes if all your SSD is accessing is the game then it will be noticeably quicker..dont put windows on the same drive, your defeating the object a bit

hth

My 4850 is scoring higher than some of the better cards here lol.what a load of b*ll*cks this test is!
