Get-CimInstance Win32_WinSat
- 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.
