Less performance...?

[The VCR King]

Last time I ran Windows Experience Index my gaming graphics score was 7.9, but when I ran the WEI assessment this time my gaming graphics score dropped to 7.8. Why?!

Did you update the video driver between runs?

Also as we've said before WEI is basically useless for truly assessing the power of a computer. I've seen my numbers vary a bit sometimes but it doesn't really matter.

It could be driver related, perhaps you have more background tasks running, or it could just be that your score is right in the middle between the two so any slight differences throw off the score by a point.

If you are truly that bothered about it I recommend watching this so you can change it back to 7.9. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYtu5PgGjXc (it works on 7 too)

Yes, the WEI is so useless you can actually change your score by editing one file!

Haha!

I don't really think u should be worried about a .1 loss on WEI. Mine shifts by up to .5 sometimes

Gees! .5?! OK.
