Windows Experience Index on rMBP bootcamp

Just wondering, for users getting a score of above 5.9 in the disk transfer rate (WEI), did u guys do anything? Like after installing the bootcamp drivers, did u guys went to type some commands or anything?

Nope, nothing!

The read/write speeds are great so it's something else I suppose... :(

I don't know if this is relevant, but I noticed a disk index of 5.9 before applying SP1. After updating Windows 7 to SP1 the hard disk index went up to 7.9

The retina MBP has very fast Flash storage, hence the high number.

On my 2.7 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 768 GB Flash

Processor 7.7

Memory 7.7

Graphics 7.3

Gaming graphics 7.3

Primary hard disk 7.9

Ohhhhhh.. Not sure if that could be the reason, but when i did the WEI, I havent applied the updates yet. :O
 
For some reason, my SSD is also bringing the score down to 5.9. I have SP1 installed, so I don't understand what the cause might be - it's really frustrating.

I was able to fix the 5.9 rating for the SSD.

I allocated 50GB for Windows 7 and after it was installed and updated, I only had 7GB of space left. Turns out that because of the 16GB of RAM, Windows allocates a huge chunk of the drive to hibernate and the page file.

I disabled system restore, hibernate, and the page file, got back to 36GB free and reran the assessment and it's all better.

I'm not sure if it was because it was low on disk space or if disabling the other stuff made it benchmark so much better but it's at 7.9 now.

Thanks for that reply. I have all three things turned off, but I did only allocate about 30GB to BootCamp partition, so that might be the reason it's giving me such a low score. I'm not going to bother about it, however, as I run most of my programs off of an external hard drive anyway. It's just a number, I suppose! Thanks for the heads up, though.
 
For some reason, windows seems to rate the graphics card (650M) with a 6.0
I have seen that everybody else´s their rMBP 15 got a 7 or more.

Is this considered normal?

I checked and I reads the discrete card (Windows 7 64 bit)
 
I also have the 2.7, 768, 16 setup. I get 7.7. I thinking why my graphics score is higher, is that I run x64 ultimate, and have NVidia lasted driver 3.something from thier site. It was lower but after the Gfx driver it went up. Also, when I was running x86(32-bit) in bootcamp I also got a 5.5. I believe both the upgrade to the 64-bit version and upgraded version of windows + new graphics driver improved my score.
 
Confused

I run an Asus GTX660 TI on my pc which results in a GPU Windows Experience Score of 7.2. In the posts above ratings of 7.3 exist for the rMBP w/the HD 4000 chipset. Having a big problem understanding how the HD4000 beats the GTX660? On my rMBP 3.0ghz, 512SSD in Parallels the overall score is only 4.5. I realize there's a lift in bootcamp vs my Parallels but ......beating the GTX660???

Those 7.x WEI scores are from the 15 in. Retina MacBook Pros, which run on the GT650M only in Windows Bootcamp, not the HD 4000.
