Who has the highest windows score, mine is 4.3?

Mine’s only 3.7 but thats due to a low powered graphics card. If I upgraded that to match the rest of the system I’d be on 5.9. Weirdly, it shows me 3.7 for desktop graphics but 5.8 for 3d/gaming graphics, which, as a Second Life player, is the more important score for me.

The highest score is 7.9, not 9.9. I have no idea how much it would cost to get a laptop with the maximum score. Lots, I would think.

(For those who don’t know what this is, you can find the score in Control Panel > Performance Information & Tools.)

IIRC, mine was 5.1, or something.
Everything is over 7, except my main HDD, which is my bottleneck.

I re-checked and I am 4.4 . My graphics card is 4.4 everything else is between 5.9 and 6.9

Mine is 5.9; like @ragingloli, my score is hindered by my slow hard drive.

My Processor is 6.9, RAM 7.0, and both Graphics ratings are 7.2

Maximum possible rating is 7.9, which is an odd number :/

It’s a 3-year-old old Gateway i3–530 with it’s stock 6GB RAM and 1TB hard drive. The only changes are a 600W Cooler Master power supply, a GTX 465 video card, and an LED case fan added to the rear panel to keep things cool.

@jerv
I got a gtx 580, an i7, 2tb hdd, and 12gb ram (at first 16, but one of the modules was corrupt)

Oh, and a laptop will never hit the scores a desktop system can. A desktop can easily mount a larger power supply and better cooling system to handle the power requirements and the waste heat, and a wall outlet has infinite endurance, but a laptop is limited by it’s battery’s amp-hours, and by volume available for heat sinks and fans.

While it’s possible to get a laptop to perform at 7.9 levels briefly, it’s a toss-up as to whether the battery would die before the system melted/self-ignited or not, though it probably wouldn’t last 15 minutes before at least one of those things happened.

I’m not competitive.

@jerv What if I switched to a PC computer, could I get 7.9 or higher for under $1500.

Under 1500? Hardly. Besides, you would need windows 8 to get past the 7.9 barrier, as the score is locked to 7.9 in win7 and 5.9 in vista.

I am not seeing where you find this. Is it a Windows 8 feature?

@filmfann For windows 8 I go into the folder in the corner and go search into the control panel then system and security and then review you computers status then view computer performance.

Ummm… I’m running XP, I can’t even find where a can get a score.

finally got to my pc. It is a 5.9 overall

CPU: 7,7
Memory: 7,7
Graphics: 7,9
Gaming graphics: 7,9
Primary hard disk: 5,9

I don’t have a Windows score, but apparently this machine has 30341.19 BogoMIPS.

BogoMIPS is bogus by definition, but it’s probably at least as meaningful as the Windows score.

5.1 due to Graphics on the ThinkPad

Where would I find this on Vista?

This was somewhat interesting, but don’t you think it would have been helpful to include some idea about WTF you were talking about?

5.9 on my laptop, limited by the slow hard drive. No surprise there.

No idea. They killed it Windows 8.1.

another reason to shun it

I am pleased with my PC I thought it was fast but it just scored 3.8 due to Desktop performance for Windows Aero whatever that is.The processor and the memory were 7.2.

It means your graphics card is shit.
