Windows 7 and IL2... No love?

[OAC_Kosh]

Specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Q6600 @ 3.0GHz
GTX 275
4MB 1066 RAM
TIR 4
FOV Changer
Triplehead2go 3840x1024
Driver version: 195.62

IL2 fully modded to AAA UI 1.2


Comparing between XP Pro x32 and Win 7 x64, I get a consistent 15% fps loss in Windows 7.

This is progress according to Microsoft. They run the inverse of Moore's Law. As computing power doubles, MS must bloat its OS code to run half as fast.

Clearly they are behind the curve as you are only seeing a 15% drop.

It's not really Microsoft in this case. I blame this on both ATI and Nvidia. I know because I can tell you first hand their 64 bit MotherBoard Drivers and Video Drivers are the root of the problem.

Test after test Windows 7 has shown that MS heard us and got rid of a lot of the bloatware you talk about.

For the most part Modern Games seem to run really well its just that the stability has gone down and I blame that on the OEMs and their drivers.
