just finished on my build.. when i checked the rating i only got 6.0 and they are the gpu... thinking xfire 6950 should be higher than that.. other parts are at 7.9...

I seem to recall that the gpu test for the windows score isn't stressful enough to get the cards out of low power mode. The cards are seriously downclocked as a result

WEI is a fail, you can totally ignore it.

Not everything supports Crossfire and in some cases Crossfire can actually be slower than a single card on a benchmark. I wouldn't work about that, no body uses windows experience index as a benchmark. 3Dmark11, Cinebench R11, or SISoft Sandra are much better benchmarks.

Dont pay attention to it, Xfire 6950's will normally beat my 570 and my 570 gets a 7.9

WEI - to put simply; is a completely unimportant, non-relevant, and impractical measure of a computer's true performance potential.

haha.. alright guys! thanks everyone.

If you want to know what's going on for sure download some software like Furmark, GPU-Z etc and monitor your cards under load.
You'll be able to see if there's actually a problem or not (not what WEI has to say about it).

The reason is quite simple, ATi/AMD is tricking you into buying a better videocard. If you think this is false, just uninstall your current display drivers, then install 11.5, or earlier drivers, youwill get 7.7 to 7.9 in WEI!!

11.5 and earlier drivers will give you back your 7.7 to 7.9 score, all because before AMD bought ATI, ATI was not into tricking its customers.
