Firstly, this has now been increased by a further two points to a maximum of 7.9.

How well is your machine scoring using this new index compared with Vista?
 
I think there is a bug in that when it starts (manual trigger) the glass at the top becomes more opaque and darker, and I'm not so confident this is working well. Surely if your graphics card gets a 5.9 in Vista, then it should be slightly more or less than 5.9 and not 3.5 as is the case in Windows 7, or is this new H.264/MPEG-4 AVC technology raising the bar?
