    So the new Windows 8 OS Windows Experience Index scale goes up to 9.9 instead of 7.9. I ran the tests with everything stock and this is what I got:

    Processor: 7.9
    RAM: 7.9
    Graphics: 6.8
    Gaming: 6.8
    Primary Hard Disk: 8.1

    I'm using the following:
    Intel i7-3820QM
    16GB Samsung PC1600
    Nvidia 650M 2GB
    Samsung 512GB SSD

    Obviously running on 64bit Windows 8 @ 1600x900.

    Not bad....My W8 score is:

    Processor 7.4
    RAM: 7.8
    Graphics: 6.9
    Gaming: 6.9
    Primary Hard Disk: 7.9

    That's my R1. I also have HT off so the processor score should be around 7.6 I think it was with HT on.

    There is no way for me to run the GT650m in the WEI, any suggestions? I tried it to connect to an external monitor, turned PhysX to the GT650m, everything, but I still get a 5.9 for desktop graphics :( Please help me!
