NOMNOM Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 DirectX11 > DirectX9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I AM Your Reason Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Windows 7 is where it's at! You don't get any of the new features that Vista and 7 offer or DirectX 11 with XP do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staisys Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Windows 7 is the now. Windows XP is the "OMG SRSLY? GO UPGRADE!" Windows 7 > Windows XP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa John Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Well when an OS runs out of support it runs out of support. With no updates you basically are going to have an OS with tons of security holes and bugs when you try and run new software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 XP is still a bit faster than windows 7 for gaming.....but the difference is not enough to stay on XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not sir, you only have to modify Win 7 slightly and it can run faster then XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingless Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I think not sir, you only have to modify Win 7 slightly and it can run faster then XP. Maybe a better way to phrase that is to say that XP is less of a memory hog (by old school standards) If you're playing contemporary games, DX11 is nice. I'm running 7 on the Windows partition on all of my workstations and probably won't ever go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desKrriado Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 ...you only have to modify Win 7 slightly and it can run faster then XP. How to? Please post a tutorial or someting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I think not sir, you only have to modify Win 7 slightly and it can run faster then XP. Wrong and wrong, I've tested this myself with the source engine, XP video drivers are much more mature than win7/vista. A Google search will also show I'm not retarded. It was REALLY bad until Vista SP1 came out, now the difference between the 2 is less than probably 5% performance difference. Memory was never an issue for me, I usually have plenty so that argument is null. Please explain what you modify in windows 7 to increase performance though, I'd love to hear it.

Darkplanner Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Windows 7 Ultimate of course. And to all those saying that XP > Windows 7, its time to get a better computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
