Windows 7 X64 Build 7048 Gaming

Installed latest 7048 x64 build seems much faster on desktop than the 7000 beta. Also games seem to fly now crysis warhead seems to run even better than it did on xp x64 or vista x64. Anybody else gettin better gaming performance in this build over the previous builds and vista etc?

not on my pc

i will be properly testing it out later, but i just ran COD4 (until i got kicked ) & there was a definite fps increase.....

im gonna run the benches soon, see if its my wishful thinking or it has actually improved the performance...

Yes I'm feelin it my man, first impressions the operating system feels more responsive and also games (except nfs undercover, which has poor coding) seem smoother and crispier.

Post your hardware too!
I'm having problem with World of Warcraft ~Wrath of the Lich King~ under Windows 7 build 7048 x64. When I play in window mode, I maximize and play at really good frame rates, better than in Windows Vista SP1 x64. But, when I maximize another window in his background (used to open Firefox or Internet Explorer 8 so I can look for things in WoW Head, or when using WoW Cartographe), WoW slown down from 80 FPS to 5~10 FPS. I've to go back to my background application, minimize it, then minimize WoW and maximize it again so it goes back to work normally.
I'm running all this in a Intel Core2Quad Q6600 with 6 GB. of RAM DDR2-800 CL5 and a E-VGA GeForce 8800GTS, using updated Windows Update's drivers.
Somebody got the same issue that I have? :shock:

I'll test that out Gato Been meaning to but never got to it, I'll try it right now

Somebody can play Empire Total War with this build?? (Windows 7 X64 Build 7048 Gaming)

I have a lots of graphical issues with the propers drivers installed. It's

my computer can barely handle high end games. as soon as i can upgrade this thing then i can finally play good games.

I can tell that gaming from my computer has improved a lot.

I've been playing LONG sessions of Everquest 2, known to have pretty nice memory leaks and to hog the system a lot, and with W7, that never happened. System was responsive after many hours of play. FPS was pretty good both on window and full screen mode. Zonning times got a pretty nice boost from my vista experience, and now I'm usually first zoning one on groups

Will give a try to other games and post more comments.

Have fun!

I noticed better game play with the 7048 and up. Warhead is flawless for me, never crashes using 1680x1050 Enthusiast 4XAA using the 180.48 and single GTX280.

I just had some tests with the only game currently installed on my laptop (World of Warcraft) and it's running much better on 7, the loading screen isn't smooth but game itself is running 5-10 fps higher on 7 compared to Windows XP. Can't remember how it was running on Vista but it wasn't doing good there either
