Windows 7 RC, Vista SP1 game performance comparison

Windows 7 RC has been leaked and installed on many people's hard drives. How does the performance of the new system change compared to Windows Vista SP1? Let's first look at 3D games.

Note: The test was from the ZDNet blogger Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, and it is customary to not disclose specific test scores, only a simple and intuitive comparison.

The test platform uses Core 2 Duo E8500 OC 3.6GHz processor, 2× 2GB memory, and the test card has Radeon HD 4870 X2, Radeon HD 4850, GeForce GTX 260, GeForce 8800 GTX four games, the game tested It is Crysis Warhead, Far Cry 2, and Left 4 Dead. All games run at 1680× 1050 resolution.

Test results are as follows:

Overall Windows 7 RC and Vista SP1 are essentially It is comparable to the obvious winners and losers, both on the A card and on the N card. This is both good news and bad news: the good side is that the player's gaming experience will not be affected after upgrading the system. The bad side is that the new system will not bring faster speed.

Although Windows 7 is still in the development stage, but the RC candidate version has been finalized, and there will be no major changes in the future, so the burden of improving game performance will fall to the graphics card driver. On (the driver used in this test was not named), the AMD and NVIDIA worked hard.
