!Although Windows 11 no longer has the built-in interface for viewing the system performance index that was in Windows 7, the ability to evaluate the performance index remains.
Next, we will tell you how to find out using standard tools.
To find out the Windows 11 performance index, just follow the next steps:
- First, we need to manually run the built-in performance test.
To do this, from the command line (or Windows PowerShell) launched with administrator rights, you should run the command winsat formal -restart clean and wait for the system performance assessment to complete.
- Then, to view the list of calculated performance indicators, run the command Get-CimInstance Win32_WinSAT in Windows PowerShell.
The value WinSPRLevel, or the smallest of all values except WinSATAssesmentState, is the performance index.
Let's explain the meaning of the items in this report:
CPUScore — processor
D3DScore — graphics for games and 3D applications (on modern systems, almost always the maximum, regardless of the video card)
DiskScore — HDD or SSD disk performance
GraphicsScore — desktop graphics
MemoryScore — RAM
- By the way, you can see this data by simply opening the file Formal.Assessment (Recent).WinSAT.xml in the folder C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore using any text editor or browser.
