The Vista Experience (not!)

[ycoidi2000]

I finally have my build together...

E6600
EVGA 8800GTS 320Meg
EVGA 680i motherboard
etc...

So...I can't understand why Vista rates the processor a 5.3, RAM 5.5, hard disk 5.7, but my Graphics as 1.0! This prevents me from using the Aero interface.

I'm sure this is me and not Vista (how could it be Microsoft's fault?)...

Any thoughts?

... Weres your other specs? Etc could mean anything?

Oh, and have you downloaded, installed or re-installed all the lates drivers?

When I click to update the score, it runs its little program and my score doesn't change.

Vista has been known for alot of problems but ive never come accross this one before.

The only other idea I have up my sleeve is to contact microsoft or wait for someone else to post

Try some different drivers? Does the card actually work fine in games and stuff though?

 

[jonny_uk]

as above, it should work great, dont worry about a windows vista score..........

 

[Antz.]

As long as it works, it works. As above who gives a crap about a vista score!
