Thread Starter 
i recently upgraded vista 64 to win 7 and also upgraded the video cards to dual 280m in sli and i cant figure out why my scores dont even hit 7.0. i have a corsair p128 ssd drive and its the lowest score at 5.9. my gaming graphics are 6.8, memory 6.9, cpu at 6.8 and aero at 6.8.. this seems low for me as the hardware is pretty top of the line.. graphics driver is the dell version for win 7 186.64. is this low and if so does anybody no how to improve this score???


on a side note, with win 7 i had to set cpu overclock to default as i was getting random BSOD's with BCCodes of 124 and 7f. was running T9600 @ 3.5 O/C.

Post a Crystaldiskmark or hdtune benchmark of your SSD.

Mine was also low until I disabled the integrated graphics.

Thanks for the benchmarking suggestion. Here are my results SSD vs my 7200 RPM drive using crystal disk mark: 5 tests 1000 MB

SSD INTEL X-25M GEN2 80 GIG
Sequential Read : 259.774 MB/s
Sequential Write : 87.813 MB/s
Random Read 512KB : 200.743 MB/s
Random Write 512KB : 85.752 MB/s
Random Read 4KB : 20.660 MB/s
Random Write 4KB : 47.435 MB/s

Test Size : 1000 MB

7200 RPM DRIVE 160 GIG
Sequential Read : 78.675 MB/s
Sequential Write : 77.431 MB/s
Random Read 512KB : 35.396 MB/s
Random Write 512KB : 40.915 MB/s
Random Read 4KB : 0.527 MB/s
Random Write 4KB : 0.906 MB/s

Test Size : 1000 MB

How come my sequential Write speed on SSD is so close to the sequential write speed on the traditional HD? only a 10 MB diff. The SSD def trumps the other in EVERY thing else! Random read and writes hurt spinning drives hehe!

My seq write on my x-25M is 108. Make sure you have the latest firmware installed. The biggest downside to the Intel drives is the seq write.

What Firmware is on your SSD? I wen to the intel website and didn't find any info on firmware updates. I got the SSD tool box, but it should not be needed b/c windows 7 has "trim" feature.

I have all 7.2 except my hard drives. They drag it down to a 5.9.
