How to benchmark a computer with the Windows Experience Index

The Windows Experience Index allows Windows users to quickly determine the overall performance of their computer and any current bottlenecks.

To measure the Windows Experience Index Score, you can do it using PowerShell and Command Prompt (CMD).

Benchmark Machines with PowerShell

You can also use PowerShell to run the Windows System Assessment Tool (WinSAT) to get the device’s performance score.

  1. Run “PowerShell” as administrator.
  2. Then use the command
Get-CimInstance Win32_WinSat
winsat powershell
  1. The command will generate scores for CPUScore, D3DScore, DiskScore, GraphicsScore, and MemoryScore.

A score of 1.0 is the lowest score

A score of 9.9 is the highest

Conclusion

If you are a gamer or power user who is looking for the best performance, pay attention to the results of the score. The low DiskScore shows you should replace your HDD drive with one that performs well, like an SSD.

The low GraphicsScore shows you should immediately replace your Graphics Card with a better one. Likewise, with the low MemoryScore, you need to add more memory.
