Common sense, 10 would be the max.

There is no max. It could go on forever as performance keeps increasing. It'd be stupid to have a max rating. What if a PC 3 years later scores a 10? What will a faster PC score? The whole idea of the rating is that you can know which games you will be able to run/enjoy.

Common sense, 10 would be the max.

Actually, common sense would suggest that there is no max value (similar to any other benchmarking utility out there). Technology is constantly evolving and increasing in performance. The faster your components are the higher your score will be. It is however possible to have a lowest score.

Why is my RAM measured in Memory operations per second rather than amount?

i have 4GB ram and only get 4.8?

Every other screenshot i've seen has amount there, not the operations/sec.

edit: oh. you have to look at the report thing. got it!

Well my lappie actually doesn't do too badly, naturally it's the graphics keeping it back:

Processor: Intel Core Duo T2300 - 4.6

Memory (RAM): 1GB DDRII RAM - 4.5

Graphics: ATI X1400 at 500/400 - 3.7

Gaming Graphics: As above, - 3.8

Primary Hard Disk: Seagate 5400RPM SATA - 4.4

Overall Rating - 3.7

On average the computer would rate at about 4.3 or so, not too bad for a sub $2500 notebook (Australian price).

I know a lot about computers, but nothing about processors. I have what the Windows Experience index describes as simply "Pentium 4 Processor @ 2.40Ghz" and it gives a score of 3.4, which is my lowest score. I see others in this thread with a P4 at 2.40Ghz and getting much higher scores, like Vincev: Processor Intel? Core?2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz = 5.2. Man i wonder why my P4 sucks so much lol

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
