havent really posted much lately but id apprciate some advice on increasing some FPS on my desktop with the 8800 GTS

the performance on vista got me a rating of 5.1 indexed as everyone knows " lowest score "

anyways hook me up with some advice lol

Then you realize no matter what we say in terms of tweaking the card it won't do anything to your index right? Sorry, just the wording seems a touch odd. Though if your card says 5.1 you might have issues, I have the same type and my card score is 5.9

5.1 is the proccesor


the video card got a 5.9

If you wanna increase your WEI/FPS then you've gotta overclock your CPU. If you don't already know how then I don't advise you to do so. You'll only end up frying your mobo and CPU if you don't know what your doing.

Overclock the Processor if you really want to sqeeze some power out of it.... I wouldn't do it if I were you though... and if you are going 2 do it, be really careful and don't fry it. lol

5.1 is a good score, plus I don't think Windows Experience Index works correctly, like for example sometimes it give my graphics card a 5.6, sometimes 5.9 it's weird, I don't trust it...

If you feel like 5.1 is a bad score, edit it... make it a 10


EDIT: LOL Sphynx and I, posted at the same time, kind of.

Just ignore what the Windows experience score says, it is a load of rubbish there seems to be this trend at the moment where people think that by having a 5.9 score you have the greatest PC known to man, that score was designed to give a rough idea as to how your system will perform handling Vista not how it handles other programmes like games, 3d programmes, Photoshop etc. There have also been a lot of issues with the score not updating properly when hardware is changed or drivers updated so it is still bugged

Ask your self first is your PC fast enough for what you need
If you want to make it faster have you considered upgrading not over clocking?

And why satisfy the WEI score when you are the user, so satisfy your demands not because of what the WEI says.

If you really want to see how the system performs run a benchmark programme like 3d mark and that gives you results on CPU and memory performance etc and allows you to compare with other systems.
