Graphic performance rating: How can I increase this score?

original title: graphical performance evaluation?

When I try to improve my score on performance monitor, all scores are above 3.0 accept graphics. How can I increase this score?

Hello Curtis19,

Witht Windows Experience Index the 'weak link' is still the material with the lowest number. The only option you really increase the WEI of the link must replace this piece of hardware with a better version. In a Word, it means buy a better video card. That's fine with a PC that contains a dedicated or has a spare graphics port graphics card, but if you happen to have a PC with an integrated card (one that is permanently attached to the motherboard (as in a laptop for example and some desktop pc), then it is not so easy, or, in some cases even possible.)

If you have a laptop, then, because of compact space, the graphics card will be integrated and you will be not Basel upgrade - well not without having to buy a new laptop. If you have a desktop computer and has integrated graphics, you'll find dedicated usually there also a spare graphics port that allows you to insert a graphics card in the slot. In this case, you can improve the IFE by simply buying a better graphics card. However, do not expect miracles, a new graphics card can increae still than the IFE by 1 point or two.

Personally, I think that the WEI is only a tool of "sale". After all, if the seller tells you that this system has a 3 WEI, but for an extra £50 you can have the system B with a WRI to 4.3 then you, psychologically, will say "well I much prefer system B" is however, System B will be able to do more than to A system? The answer is usually no. If a machine does everything you want it to then do a low WEI would be the least of my worries. As long as the machine runs on my apps, play any video, that I want to watch without slowing down or pixellating then it is good for me.

  • Performance index Windows sides my RAM at 5.5, how can I increase this score.

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, and the performance index scores my RAM to 5.5 (lowest score).  I have 4 GB of RAM installed, which is the maximum 32-bit windows can use.  Because a maxed out what's a low score?

    -Mike

    Because it has to do with the amount of RAM you have, but rather that it's good. What you have in your computer is probably some 800 MHz RAM, which is realitivly slow compared to my 1600 MHz... that is much faster.

  • In Windows experience Index of my computer's processor performance are increased from 5.8 to 4.7.How can I increase this?

    This Windows experience index per second processor calculations

    1 don't get too concerned about the experience index itself, the methods used to determine these scores is rather crude and produce no good empirical results and should be used only as a general guide.

    Also, the algorithms used are sometimes modified to allow changes in the technology available so can produce slightly different results from a previous run.

    Finally even if the utility is supposed to be able to compensate for other tasks, so it can be influenced by other processor loads may produce lower figures. Make sure the system is in the same State when comparisons.

    Processor performance has limited options to improve. Have you ridden any new memory since the last test?

  • HP 17-e049wm: How can I increase the video memory shared to the integrated graphics card?

    I recently bought a HP 17-e049wm. This laptop has the AMD Radeon HD8650G integrated graphics with up to 4206 MB total memory. I understand that this graphics 'card' using embedded memory as video memory. How can I increase or decrease the amount of memory allocated for graphics? I don't seem to be able to make changes from the BIOS. Is this something that adjusts automatically?

    Hi Aditya,

    Thanks for joining us out on Microsoft Community Forums.

    As you are interested to learn more about the increase in the memory of the dedicated graphics card, I advise you to buy an external graphics card. You can do this by contacting the manufacturer of the computer or the store local tech.

    I would also say to update you Direct X 10 for direct X 11 and check if it helps.

    I hope it helps. If you have any questions about Windows in the future, please let us know. We will be happy to help you.

  • How can I increase the font size of the content in the Firefox browser? We get the older, more it is difficult to see this teeny tiny type. Thank you!

    I want to be able to increase the font size in my Firefox browser, or to be able to zoom in to make it bigger. It is difficult for me to read the fine print that is coming by default. How can I do this? I worked with Firefox on LINUX, and if I remember correctly, I was able to set the size of the font for my browser. I am looking for a way to do the same thing in Firefox for Windows. Thank you.

    If you press (CTRL) and then (+) once you magnify all the window 1 once, twice, then you magnify all windows 2 times (CTRL) and (-) and you can do the opposite.

    check and this one also:

    TOOLS then OPTIONS then CONTENT then FONTS & COLOR session change the DEFAULT FONT SIZE in a bigger. Be sure to click on OK to save the changes.

    Thank you

    Since the update to El Capitan, during the scrolling of the screen guard snapping back to the top of the Web page. How can I stop this?

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  • Windows XP: I have 448 MB of RAM available. What happened to the 64 MB of RAM lack and how can I solve this problem. Thank you

    I am trying to install application constant guard Internet Security of Comcast.  After trying to download and install the product, I get and RAM error message indicating I need 512 MB of RAM to install this product, and I only have 448 MB of RAM available.  What happened to the 64 MB of RAM lack and how can I solve this problem.  Thank you

    The only way to see more of RAM is to install a graphics card and disable the onboard graphics of your motherboard. If you do this, you should be able to see all the 512 MB of it.

    That being said, I will repeat what I said before...
    You can always buy more RAM and install it on your motherboard. Go to crucial.com for more information.
    In addition, you should review install 'Internet Security' application or suite. They are not necessary (you can easily configure Windows so that it is very safe) and they often ruin the performance of a PC.
