Thread: Games Check: Vista to Windows 7

With Windows Vista, Microsoft had indeed not the happiest knack, too, and not just in dealing with the PC gamers. Windows Vista is too slow, would eat a plethora of resources and Direct3D 10 could not prevail, and is in many places was the verdict. For the Vista successor Windows 7, the Redmond company is now promising to make everything better. And judging by the feedback from the first beta version after, this promise seems not too far-fetched from.Windows 7 is clearly faster than Vista, is a conclusion of the beta testers.






Much faster? We wanted to know and have to Radeon HD 4870, Radeon HD 4870 X2 and GeForce GTX 285 resorted to all major manufacturers including multi-GPU under Windows to test seventh The GeForce GTX 295 had unfortunately left out, because this card produces consistently crash.


Of course it should be noted that Windows 7 is not ready yet and is still a lot can change to the retail version. In addition, the graphics card drivers from ATI and Nvidia are still far from mature (see GeForce GTX 295), so this report should be viewed as exactly what it is: A preview based on a beta version.
