I switched from a core 2 duo e4500 to a i5 3570k having intel hd 4000 graphics.I did Windows experience index test,my processor got a score of 7.5 which seems a bit low.The biggest shocker was the gaming graphics and windows aero graphics score showing 1 each :eek:
How is it possible?I mean 1 is too low.I dont have dedicated gpu as of now.Even 7.5 on processor score seems a bit low.I m on win 7 32bit.What could be the problem?

I think you dont have proper drivers installed. Please download Intel Chipset drivers and Intel video accelerator drivers needed for your motherboard.

Download updated driver from their website.

Which OS and platform (x64 or x86) ?

Make sure you download the right driver.

GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-B75M-D3H (rev. 1.1)

Uninstall your current gfx drivers - use driversweeper to remove the driver completely - install latest gfx driver from Intel's website .. install - update DX runtime - allocate at-least 512MB ram to the HD4000 from bios ( make sure you have at-least 2GB or more ram ) - re-run the assessment.

just for information windows experience index value range is from 1.0-7.9 so max possible rating for any system is 7.9

if i5 3570k gets a 7.9 score then what will be left to give processors like i7-3770K & hexa core i7 3960X.your processor score is as it should be.
