Windows 7 peformance

Windows 7 shines with multi-GPU

Ever since the first information on Windows 7 leaked there have been intense discussion surrounding the performance of the operating system. The current Windows Vista was anything but fast when it arrived and especially gamers avoided it at any cost. The development has improved things with Windows Vista but many are hoping that Windows 7 will become Microsoft's "performance OS" and now that the system has gone gold the labor bears fruit.

 

At Firingsquad they have published a triple shoot-out between Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP where gaming performance is the focal point.

 

The performance with one graphics card is often pretty much the same between the three system, but in a few games (ARMA II) we witness how Windows XP takes a bit lead.

 

Overall though, Windows 7 is ready to take over as the performance OS and the greatest difference comes when you use multiple graphics cards. With NVIDIA SLI or ATI CrossFire there are several games that both Windows Vista, and especially Windows XP gets whipped pretty badly.

 

The performance speedups are even more dramatic when you scale from one to two cards running SLI. Windows 7 64-bit ran a whopping 21% faster than Windows XP x86 at 1600x1200 at 19% faster at 1920x1200. Windows 7 was faster than Vista too. SLI performance was 9% greater with Windows 7 when comparing the 64-bit operating systems at 1600x1200 and 5% at 1920x1200.

 

Windows 7 looks like a stable gaming operating system and those with multi-GPU should should definitely upgrade to get the most from their hardware.

CIA galima pasiziuret pilna testavima ir rezultatus,taciau netgi ant single core P4 3.2 CPU,su 2gb ramo bei 8800GT korta,Win7 veike greiciau nei winxp,ir galbut ramo sunaudoja siek tiek daugiau,taciau zaidimai man veike taip geriau su Win7 palyginus su winxp.ir cia ant palyginus jau ant seno pc ,su prastais duomenim.cia tik mano nuomone bet jei anksciau winxp buvo pc zaidimu OS,tai dabar win7 yra tikrai geriau. kelis kartus pates perrasiau is winxp i win7 ir atvirksciai ir rezultatai buvo tie patys,kad win7 veikia greiciau tiek su programom,tiek su zaidimais.
