How to determine the productivity index of the system and hardware parts? Basic productivity index What is the productivity index

We recently spoke in detail about . Significance Windows Experience Index allows you to easily evaluate the hardware configuration of a particular computer. The higher the productivity index, the higher the productivity of the computer. When purchasing a new (or used) computer, many uninformed buyers who have little knowledge of current computer hardware may rely on the productivity index values. In my opinion, it allows you to equalize different configurations among themselves. This article will show that it is not possible to work this way, even though the value of the productivity index can simply be increased, and, of course, it will not affect the real productivity of the computer.

The exact values ​​of the Windows Experience Index can be viewed in the system authorities window (Computer->Properties)

The data in this window is displayed based on computer tests of various components. The resulting Windows Productivity Index (WEI) values ​​are stored in the system as an XML file, which can be easily modified instead.

Well, we turned our old computer into a supercomputer!

Varto note that such an increase in the rating of your computer can actually not only advance the NSV with great numbers. Some programs (most notably Aero, various “beautiful” systems and games) simply do not run on a computer with a low rating. On the right, such programs using the additional API Windows Experience Index can check the exact WEI values ​​before launching

To change the values ​​of the productivity index indicators, you can review the rating in the window. Re-Run the assessment»

The Windows Vista Core Productivity Index shows how well your computer can handle the operating system. A higher index value means that the computer performs faster and faster, especially during the eradication of complex tasks, lower computer values ​​from lower index values. You can open the index window by selecting the command Start>Control Panel>System and Maintenance, then clicking on the message Complete assessment of Windows productivity for your computer in a group of parameters System.

As is obvious for the little ones, the index of formations is based on the structure of five main components, the skin of which is supported by the assessment. As a result, the base index is determined by the lowest score of any component. For example, the little one has a higher productivity index than 5.4, since this rating itself is given to the processor.

To improve the Windows Productivity Index, you need to carry out a number of tests, in which case your computer may freeze at times, and your screen will blink at you several times. To view detailed information about removing results, click on the message Views and other detailed views. The window will display test scores and detailed information about system configuration. Click on the button Other pages Allows you to view other pages with test results.

After upgrading the computer or installing other hardware (for example, a video card or processor), the basic aging index, which can be judged by the black and white barred icon Zagalna assessment. Click on the button Update your rating to assign new values ​​to the index

If you're not kidding simple people, speed up the command line and the winsat program. Click on the button Start and enter the search command in the row cmd to open the command row window. Enter command winsat/? to view the list of available commands that allow you to perform both a general evaluation and an evaluation of other components. The results can be saved in an XML or text file, which is convenient for further processing in other programs.

What is the basic productivity index about? The index should not be considered as a universal tool for assessing how reliable and uninterrupted a Windows Vista computer will be. The index is also a tool that allows you to understand which computer components may be causing low productivity of the operating system. The ratings can be divided in this way.

• More than 5. Airborne, Windows Vista "flyable" on your computer.
• More 4. The computer works well with Windows Vista.
• More than 3. Bad, but it could have been better.
• More than 2. The component from such an assessment should be replaced with a more productive one.
• More 1. Terminovo change the component with such an assessment!

Do not forget to update the index after installing a new device, as well as after installing new drivers. For example, new drivers for a video card often increase the evaluation of that component.

First, the productivity index was introduced into the operating system after it was installed in Windows 7, and the Windows 8.1 axis of its graphical shell was visible, even though the program itself was still in the system.

Fortunately, we can measure the productivity index starting with Windows Vista and ending with Windows 10.

If you don’t understand what this index is, let me explain. This function in the system monitors the productivity of the hardware and software of a computer or laptop, and then displays numerical values ​​(score). For different OS versions, the range of these values ​​is different:

Windows Vista (1-5.9);

Windows 7 (1-7.9);

Windows 8.1 (1-9.9).

There is also a program called WinSAT, which indicates the numerical values ​​of the most important hardware elements of the computer, for example, the processor, RAM, graphics core, etc. After calculating all the values ​​of the components, the final value is calculated, which is assigned to the smallest number, as a result, the higher the final value of productivity, the better.

Yakisni postachannya. Cable KPBPng(A)-HF. Who got tsked, we wonder.

How can I find out the productivity index for different versions of Windows?

As I already said, in Windows 8.1 the productivity index utility does not have a graphical part, so you can find out its value using the command line or graphical interface.

If you don’t want to enter certain commands, but want everything to look the same as it did in Windows 7, there is a program called WSAT, which repeats the same interface as in the Windows 7 index. Enter the links.

It is possible to determine productivity values ​​without using vicarious utilities. For example, in Windows 8.1 you don’t need to do anything, since the system itself has already created the layout of the productivity index and recorded it in a special file, which is located in the folder: C: Windows Performance WinSAT DataStore.

This folder will have a file called "Formal.Assessment (Initial). WinSAT.xml", which can be opened with a text editor, or better yet, with Notepad. Open this document and find there a tag in which information about the productivity index is saved.

If you can’t open this file or it won’t start, the command line will come to your aid. Run it and enter the command Winsat formal. Press Enter to indicate the end of the process.

In this simple way we can determine the system productivity index, there is nothing complicated.

What is it like - Windows Productivity Index What does it show and how can we become the most valuable ones? Let's find out...

To find out the Windows Productivity Index for your computer, you need to go to System Power through the Windows Panel.

The Productivity Index has appeared in Windows 7 and, according to Microsoft's idea, is supposed to help users choose a security program. It was reported that software vendors display a productivity index on their products and vendors can easily determine whether the program will run on your computer or not.

The idea of ​​​​negligence, but I don’t know any of the most important computer developers who would turn on the power supply when installing programs on their computer - what kind of productivity index is required to run this program? It will be a long time before software vendors specify this index.

If you are already struggling with food, how can you raise your productivity index?

The main idea is that due to the low index, the computer itself is malfunctioning and running unstable, or is it really so? Let me tell you, not at all. Let's find out how this index is calculated and what it means.

There is no simple formula for the breakdown of the productivity index. Everything is simple - the operating system tests the main devices of the computer and evaluates its productivity on a scale of 1 to 7.9 (for Windows 7) or 1 to 9.9 (for Windows 8).

Next, the device with the lowest score is taken and this value is displayed as the Windows Productivity Index. So you don’t calculate the arithmetic mean and don’t use complex formulas, but simply take the values ​​of the most unproductive component.

The following components were tested:

• Processor- The number of calculation operations per second is measured;
• RAM- The number of memory access operations per second is measured;
• Video card– productivity of simple (2D) and 3D graphics for gaming programs;
• Hard drive- The speed of writing/reading to/from the device varies.

Quite often, the most unproductive component is the hard drive and is itself considered the productivity index for the entire computer, which, in my opinion, is not entirely fair.

As you understand, there is not much value in such an assessment, but still there is no value.

First of all, with additional testing you can identify the “weak points” of the computer.

By “weak points” I don’t mean a device that causes problems, such as the rapid restarting of a computer or the suspension of work. Here we will talk about those that Windows “wanted” to operate in the place of this device, something else that would be stronger and work faster. Just and everything...

If your computer freezes or freezes during hours of operation, it is not possible to find the most problems in the Windows Productivity Index. These problems are caused not by the lack of productivity of the computer, but by the banal contamination of the operating system. Here you can remove unnecessary programs, clean up time files, and so on. I learned more about the steps that can be taken to cope with this episode, I learned from the “News” note.

Another bark, yaku can vichaviti z Windows Productivity Index- Just think about what purposes the computer can serve.

I want to wash myself again - this is the assessment very close And here we need to focus not so much on the external productivity index, but on the productivity index of other devices.

There are no clear rules here, but on the information page from the official Microsoft website I can say that for serious graphics, such as in current games, the productivity index must be no lower than 5 (for graphics itself iki), and for an office computer that is vikoristed For typing, working with spreadsheets and surfing the Internet, it is enough to have a basic index of letters 2.0, although in this case, in all cases, graphic elements will not be available on the default Aero style in Windows 7. To be specific, It’s really difficult here , because this index itself is super-non-specific and there is a lot to do with the configuration and setup of your computer.
