Hi guys
just recently purchased a saphire radeon 5770 1gb to replace my diamond 3870hd 512mb. I put the 3870 in another system that I built that is using mostly inferior parts. However, the windows experience index for graphics is higher on the 3870 than on the 5770...what gives? My main system is getting 6.6 in both aero and gaming, while the secondary gets 7.1...I really don't get it.
I know the 5770 is performing better then the 3870 because I'm making about 800-1000 PPD more when I fold on it, I'm jsut confused as to why the index isn't reflecting this.
Oh, the main rig is on Windows 7 RC, and the Secondary has the regular release, could this be causing a discrepancy?
System specs:
Main rig:
e8400 @ 3.6
p5k-e wifi ap motherboard
4 gigs ddr2 800
5770hd
WD 1tb Black
Second system:
e2180 @ 2.66
evga 680i sli motherboard
2 gigs ddr2 800
3870hd
WD 1tb Green
Thanks for the input guys
