puntoMX Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 but that won't explain the fact that my processor score went down to 2.9!I'm almost sure you have "Power Saving" set in the Power Options, or in other words, your CPU isn't working at full speed and the settings won't let it get to the full speed (EIST settings in BIOS could be also playing a role here).

(which is still quite low) Edited May 11, 2009 by MtK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtK Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) neither option (Aero Hack or CPU=3.8) started the Aero...(I've restarted) Edited May 11, 2009 by MtK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 From what I understand, there were changes to WinSat between the betas and the RC, so the processor score changing may be expected, especially considering you can change it by changing the power scheme. What CPU is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Can you run "winsat cpu -v" and paste the output? Also, what was the score in Win7 7000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 OK, I think this is because of the score rebasing between RC and betas. Can you try this - run "winsat cpu -compression -v" and winsat cpu -encryption -v" and paste just the section below "Running: CPU Assessment" in the output? I need to see what scores you're getting, because I have access to a T2500 later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yes, this is about what I'm getting on my 3.8 box. There was a "refactoring" of the scoring for the RC (don't know if there'll be another before RTM) due to the i7, I believe, so it makes sense this is lower than it was in Vista or build 7000. I get the same scores with a similar Thinkpad, so I believe this to be expected. Just remember the score is just a score, it's not going to affect your ability to use the OS (and anything over a 3 is technically considered "good" hardware for Win7 - netbooks running the Atom 1.6 generally score around 2.1 or 2.2, and they run Win7 quite well.My 7.1 Core2Duo box gets the following scores, for reference:> Running: CPU Assessment '-compression'> Run Time 00:00:10.28> CPU LZW Compression 254.64 MB/s> Total Run Time 00:00:12.95> The System processor power policy was restored> Running: CPU Assessment '-encryption'> Run Time 00:00:03.21> CPU AES256 Encryption 156.27 MB/s> Total Run Time 00:00:05.15> The System processor power policy was restoredThere is a delta there, and it's pretty big - anything under 100Mb/s in the compression test will not score above a 4.0, although I don't know about the encryption tests. Hopefully the documentation whitepapers on Win7 at RTM will explain the scoring in more detail than the beta documentation did, but your numbers do seem pretty low.Note that the scoring and WinSat in general isn't being backported to Vista, for what it's worth, so Vista scores will not get parity with Win7 scores when it RTMs either, although I'd argue the Win7 scores are much more accurate than the Vista scores.

MtK Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 after this I'm back to the normal (Vista) values.assertion stayed the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
