So glad i upgraded my wife and my video cards and ram! I think all told our pcs are 4 years old (ram and GPU is less than 1 year) but the setup came with the i7.

Screen Size: 1280x720
Screen Mode: Windowed

Seem like your monitor only supports 1280x1024?

SE
High Definition Display Support 
In addition to the standard 1280x720 pixel display, the benchmark also supports a 1920x1080 high definition display. Enjoy every crisp detail of the gorgeous realm of Eorzea.

The lower you put the screen resolution the higher the score will get, the higher you put the screen resolution the shaper the graphic will look on your screen which requires more power from the graphic card.

1280x1024 are standard monitors

Full list of screen size.

I think that's an old screenshot you gave us as Microsoft windows experience index scale too 9.9 now?

I ran the benchmark 4 times, twice on my XP 64bit, 720 and 1080, and twice on my Windows 7 64bit, 720 and 1080.

On XP 720 I got 6160, and on 1080 I got 6135, hardly any score difference.

But on Windows 7 on 720 I got 4233 and 1080 I got 4205, again, hardly any difference in score between 720 and 1080. I just don't understand why the score is so much worse on Windows 7 with DX11 over XP with DX9.
