My old HD 4850 512mb seems to perform poorly in windows 7 OS compared to XP.
Playing Skryim, I notice jitter and Tribes Ascend is laggy while in XP it is not.
The strange thing about Skyrim is both XP and Windows 7 show the same average FPS of 60.
At first I thought it was from installing steam on the HDD so I installed both games on the SSD but still the same result.
Fresh install of windows, installed the drivers, same result.
I would not have expected any difference in performance over the XP.
Especially not a decrease.
Is this just down to the card not handling the overhead of windows 7 desktop running in the background?
