| | 512 mb video card -> vista user experience 1.0 -?? I have a directx 10 video card, with latest driver, runs games and movies perfect why does vista say video experience 1.0, how do i manually change this? or does it mean that the device has some sort of problem, i have seem onboard video go higher than 1.0 so what is wrong with my settup. In my bios i have the option to set the default video = pcie, that is the only video setting that it allows for. Video card and motherboard are both pcie x16 Any ideas?? |

One thing to remember is that WEI is a guide, it does not effect the performance of the computer. The Windows Experience Index rating may inherit an incorrect value after you make a change to your computer's hardware configuration or you start Windows Vista for the first time: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933478/en-us -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User |

| | RE: 512 mb video card -> vista user experience 1.0 -?? How much RAM do you have? 512MB video card can eat 1GB of RAM as a buffer area. Normally, video RAM addresses are assigned above the 3MB boundary, but depending on display settings, buffering of 512MB video RAM is enough to eat below that boundary interfering with other key operations. Try setting to lower parameters and retest the WEI. Second, this is most likely an Nvidia card since they are about the only ones supporting DirectX10. Nvidia's drivers to date have had issues with Vista. Make sure you have the latest non-beta drivers.

I'm one of the whores that got a free "review" system from Microsoft prior to the Vista release, a fresh out of the box install scores a whopping 1.0, once the correct drivers were loaded it got a more respectable 5.7. -- Americans couldn't be any more self-absorbed if they were made from equal parts water and papertowel. -- Dennis Miller |
