Shall i Windows 7

richjordan255 · May 5, 2009

I use vist ultimate 64bit biut nos i have read about the rc1 being ok til next year im tempted just wondered wot u guys thought would b all i do is play games but i havnt used 7 yet so im unsure of the benefits and driver wise

I've had nothing but good so far but I use AMD/ATI so I'm not sure on Nvidia. I did see a site that had a ATI/Nvidia Win 7 comparison going on and Nvidia wasn't that far behind and they said the drivers were pretty stable.

Basically all Vista drivers work with 7. My laptop has an nVidia Quadro 140M and 7 recognized it right away.
The only bad thing is that PunkBuster doesn't work with 7 yet. They aren't going to make it compatible until the official launch of 7.
Those are the only major things I'd say about 7 right now.

see all the games i play use PB so i think i may wait i mean my rig will run it perfectly its just i want everythin 2 work, what about performance wise

A Cheese Danish · May 5, 2009

Performance wise, it isn't as hungry as vista is for resources. Some people say Vista starts up faster, but on my laptop, 7 starts up about 10-15 seconds faster than XP and Vista.
Haven't had a system crash yet, so all things seem to be working fine for me. Also, the official release of 7 is said to have DX11, but there aren't any cards yet that support that.
I haven't had any issues with 7 at all, however, I'm sure others on here (hoping they chime in on this thread) have had other troubles. I know DanishDevil is having trouble with his calender in Outlook.

I have an Intel/ATi and an Intel/nVidia running Win7. They both run it PERFECTLY.

Make the move. simple.

Move to Win 7. Its the love child of XPs functionality and Vistas looks. Its awesome!

Intel/nVidia here and it runs 100% perfect.

richjordan255 · May 5, 2009

what about games performance

Th0rn0 · May 5, 2009

Better the Vista.

richjordan255 · May 5, 2009

noticeable ?

Th0rn0 · May 5, 2009

Um. Kind of. I think win 7 is more stable then Vista

Plus one to that. My 3dm06 score actually improved

I am actually able to play games that would not run on vista and even had trouble with on xp... my only issue is... "a clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allotted time interval " BSOD! ...wtf. other than that i really like it.....
