Grale Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 If anybody was thinking about trying BS in the latest windows 7 beta, i can tell you it runs smooth with no issues. I was getting 30fps with XP and 44 with Vista (dual cpu enabled) I get a nice 47 fps with Windows 7 (dual cpu enabled) :thumbup: Fps taken exactly same conditions.. With the beta being released to the public within the next few weeks it's worth a look, really liking it so far, nicest windows for me yet.. quick aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Nighthawk- Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Yep Windows 7 takes advantage of multi-core CPU's much like Vista did over XP, should be good. Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhnd1 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Yep Windows 7 takes advantage of multi-core CPU's much like Vista did over XP, should be good. Thanks for the info anybody try it with a quad core? If I remember correctly Vista will only use 2 cores with BS but I think Win 7 has more multicore improvements than Vista so I'm curious if it can take advantage of additional cores. -- CoolHand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Any Windows 7 testers? As the beta 1 is out (soon officially :P ) It would be interesting to know if someone will try the BS on it. W7 has better multicore managing abilities than vista, less system demands and runs better and faster.

ZaltysZ Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Windows 7 will be fully compatible with Vista. Read it as: re-release or remake. :smilewink: Wir sehen uns in Walhalla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boberro Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I really believe now and hope MS won't disappoint me like it was with Vista. When in January or February public beta will be out, I'll install it to test for games and general testing. If Microsoft's promises are true, we will get quite good, really true successor of well done XP. I have poor PC cos only AMD 64+ 3000+ (1 core) and 1GB RAM with GPU 7300GT, so I am very curious how system will be running. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...

hitman Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Microsoft usually posts it in its download section when the beta is available. Its not hard to find, really...just have to wait until the beta is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereminqblank Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 If it really is just Vista on a diet, I hope when released it doesn't cost as much as Vista did on release.

Slayer Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It's the Millenium edition...or was it Second Edition.... It's probably just a bunch of bugfixes and enhancements that should have been in Vista in the first place. Nothing revolutionary , just evolutionary....The days of service pack 3 or 4 are gone. They will just sell you a new OS every 2 years.

Kuky Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 ^^^ And what a rip-off that really is... every few years you need to shell out hundreds of dollars for new OS... and it wouldn't be so bad if you had only 1 PC... most people have more than 1 PC in household now days.
