Windows 7 rocks - at least with some systems.

I just installed Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit,

[Speed of flight]

I saw a significant performance gain with the switch to vista, and then even better with win 7!
I'll help you out.
You know, there's a difference between theory and application. One can say that there SHOULD NOT be a gain just in a simple OS upgrade. However, if he saw one, why tell him he's full of garbage? How do you know? Maybe he is getting better performance with it. I will tell you that I AM getting BETTER PERFORMANCE with windows 7x64 than I ever got with vistax64. My install was unique with this one, though. I saved my important stuff to another HDD, and then formatted the one with the OS going on it. My vista install was plagued with errors and problems.
Never saw 40 FPS with vista. However, there is a MP flight I love to do between KEDW and KLSV that now hits regularly between 80-120 FPS, and got a screenshot with over 209!
:D :o
I'm seriously OC'd, but never hit it before. With WIN 7, and DX10 and all it's charms, I NOTICED a big gain from vista>7. It seems that a few people got really defensive in here, and I don't understand why?!? Poor guy didn't seem like he was trying to anger anyone, just make a point. Theory vs. Application. I, for one, noticed its performance capabilities over XP (with only DX9.0c) and vista. Lets hope I don't anger anyone, and I hope that this sheds light on the arguement over "should" vs. "does".

Thanks for that information.

Can someone point the way to helping over clock this rig?
I would appreciate it very much. Getting about 15fps and its a little choppy at 8fps.

I am new to over clocking so any instructions would be appreciated. Thanks.
