The Windows 7 beta has been a huge success with pundits and users all over
the tech world singing its praises. But what about gaming? Does moving to
Windows 7 beta mean a drop in PC gaming performance like it did with Vista
or do Microsoft and the driver teams at AMD and NVIDIA have it all ironed
out? We take you through gaming performance results on 7 graphics cards
that totaled to more than 750 test runs.

Quote: "As I mentioned on the one of the first pages of this article (that
was a LOONG time ago...) the only fair comparison for looking at pure Vista
versus Windows 7 gaming results is with AMD's graphics cards and their
unified Catalyst 9.3 driver that supports both operating systems. To that
end, the AMD situation showed us that users will likely see very modest
performance gains moving over from a Windows Vista gaming system to a
Windows 7-based PC. Considering how early we are into the life of Windows 7
(it is still in beta after all), this is a very welcome shift from how
things worked before Windows Vista's release."

Thanks for a post!
