Yeah, Mine is only 7.3, due to the SSD

@AJW256: Done, sorry about that.

It's not the actual score I'm interested in -ok, a wee bit- but more the fact Windows 7 doesn't seem to fully support the graphics card as of yet - during testing the aero/glass effect of the windows gets disabled as well. It's just all a wee bit curious.

[AJW256]

Well IMO as long as games run ok and aero runs fine normally then there shouldn't be a problem. IIRC aero is disabled during some of the tests anyway.

Had another issue today when installing BattleForge - Aero went off, and Windows gave me a prompt to turn it off or resume with the same settings (Aero on, things as normal etc).

Also, BattleForge didn't seem to recognise the card, as it loaded up with all the graphic settings on low, resolution set to something stupidly low and most importantly, disabling the DirectX superduperstuff. (Whilst BF is one of the few to support DirectX 11/Direct3D 11).

Weirdness. Where can I download the latest version of DirectX/Direct3D? Or should WinUpdate take care of this?

i wouldnt worry about the score index of windows......mine is only 5.9 and every game runs fine.....

while playing warcraft (or oder games) aero does not work too here, so i would not worry about that either
