    Windows 7 Experience Index

    Here we see the Windows 7 Experience Index score of 3.1. The lowest value is the desktop graphics which is deemed by the operating system as the bottle neck of the system. We found it interesting that the Gaming graphics test scored so much more than the desktop graphics test by scoring a 4.6. We are used to these values being closer to the same, if not identical. CPU-Z and GPU-Z screen shots are below.
