Again...

Due respect to your unfathomable techie knowledge, but the stubbornness and arrogance you show time and time again in this field is getting tiresome, at least for ordinary FSX users like myself and probably thousands of others.

I believe my own eyes, and what they saw was OK, there IS a difference, a remarkable difference, and it's stupid of you to just brush it away like that!

Have a nice flight!

Nick,

I have two PCs running FSX. My old PC is running XP while the new is running Vista. My new system is running so well that an improvement in performance from windows 7, if it should happen, would be noticed only on paper since (for example) a difference between 30 to 100 FPS and 35 to 125 FPS visually for my PC would be perceived the same. You did mention registry settings in W7 that are already setup that one would have to do manually for XP in order to compare the two. I would be interested to know what these are so I could apply them to my old PC. Also, wouldn't one expect some performance improvement from Vista to Windows 7 since it has been called by some as an updated or improved Vista. And I have to say, since using Vista in my new build, I have experience zero problems with it.

I will be getting my Windows 7 from Microsoft in the next couple of weeks and will make it a point to document any change in performance.

Yes, even at KSEA there are improvements compared to XP 64, but I won't go into this anymore, cause the "Resident Guru" apparently does not like people to think and experience things themselves, WITHOUT having to be a tech geek!

You don't need any complicated, scientific-like set-up between those two OS's to see the difference IMO.

Good luck with the setup, will be interesting to hear more ppl's experiences and comments on this matter.

I just got a notice from the Microsoft Store that my W7 has been shipped. I have also reviewed some benchmarking of  XP/Vista with W7, and much to my disappointment it appears that there is very little difference in performance between the three for FSX.

Having said this, I don't believe all this hostility. I for one believe the comparison of XP with W7 on Laurits' PC as there are so many varying factors that affect the end result. He reported just how well each OS responded as has others. And there very well be a difference between lower, middle, and higher end systems, depending on their configuration, reference the effect that W7 has on performance either up or down.

When anyone says, and I quote, "there's no doubt Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version outperforms XP 64" or and again I quote "Because Windows 7 will in no way, shape or form increase the performance of a computer under FSX use", I would be the first to challenge either statement, but in a nice way. There is a difference from just a comparison of how W7 with XP/Vista runs on any one computer and a formal benchmark of the product.

Nick - Should I turn Superfetch OFF in Windows 7?

Yes.. people are all dumb-asses for asking questions


and most of all they are dumb-asses for being cautious of dim-wits who make ridiculous statements such as FSX will never run smooth or without blue screens.





Then there are the dumb-asses that assume they are right without any understanding of what it is they are saying..   in example, there is a private message system on this forum and answering questions is sometimes best left to that system since others can read the answer and assume their system will work the same, sort of like what dim-wits do for PC optimizing since they dont understand what is being listed and what it really does/doesnt do ... and that the advice is good for any/all systems out there.

Judging by your idiotic comments here and in other forums, I bet you would say what you posted above word-for-word to a 30yr certified AL Pilot as they were trying to explain to you over the radio exactly how to land the plane after your pilot passed out in which you know as much about the aircraft you are flying as you know about computers... absolutely nothing

I'm sure surfin the net on a laptop in the cockpit would net you better instructions so you can be a individual thinker all the way down 'into' the ground

No problem Pete    


The conversation as it was is closed as far as I am concerned
