Performance Scores of your Windows 7 RTM Machines

[ZeroHour]

Please post the details of your hardware and the scores you get in each category here for all to see in your Windows 7 RTM boxes. Hopefully performance will be good for the duration of 7 but it would be good to see what various PC's/configs get.

 

Please post also if it was a fresh install or an upgrade install.

 

(If you still have a RC1 you can post its stats in garethedmondson's thread here)

I assume you mean 1TB drives? Get a SSD for primary OS install, and use those for storage!

Because its not an SSD in RAID 0 config and your using a pc with windows 7 hehe just kidding !!

 

wonder what linux would mark it as

[synaesthesia]

Because I've not got my main PC until my new graphics lump (ATI 5770) turns up tomorrow, the performance of my standin system

All very nippy, surprisingly. Can't wait to get the bigrig back out Not a huge system, E6600, 4gb, Raid5, 5770 (ex 8800GT which blew up). Should be above 5 at least

lol ive run a test and it averages at 180MB/s Read/Write to the array with a burst of 292MB/s which is silly fast (for comparison my un modded HP dc5750 office pc gets about 80MB/s tops)

5.8 for me. I really want SSDand a better Grafics Card but can't afford one atm.

Random read/write speeds will be rubbish compared to an SSD though. Windows 7 now uses these to determine your score, hence why yours is relatively low.

 

What Windows Experience Index changes were made to address SSD performance characteristics? In Windows 7, there are new random read, random write and flush assessments. Better SSDs can score above 6.5 all the way to 7.9. To be included in that range, an SSD has to have outstanding random read rates and be resilient to flush and random write workloads. (Source)

This article is quite an interesting read too...

loving your desktop there dread, where did you find those sexy icons ?

[dread696924]

loving your desktop there dread, where did you find those sexy icons ?

 

I re enabled the quick launch from Vista. The easy way I do it is take all the shortcuts you want in a grid and put them in a folder. Right click the taskbar and go to toolbars add new toolbar. Then browse to the folder you made for your shortcuts and click select folder. It will then appear on your taskbar. You can right click the grid that you have made (toolbar must be unlocked) and change options like if you want to show text beside the icons or if you want a title in text for the toolbar. I turn off text all together in my toolbar grids. The default title for the toolbar will be the name of the folder you made. So if you use the title on your toolbar you can change the title by changeing the name of the folder. Also If you want to have the oridiginal quicklaunch back...Just go to toolbars add new toolbar and where it says folder paste in this %appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Then you can right click and change the options of the quick launch. I have 6 grids or toolbars enabled. One is quick launch and the others are just folders with shortcuts. One for tools one for reg games one for triple monitor games one for benchmarks...You smell what I'm stepping in mane? lolz

As other's have said it's running pretty smoothly after a fresh install. Way better than Vista (or windows 7 RC1) ever did

[Arthur]

A native stacks-like feature in Windows 7 would be good. However, there is an app called 7Stacks that is quite similar.
