Performance Comparison - Windows XP vs. Vista vs. Windows 7
You can find a test of operating systems on the Test Freaks page.
The interesting thing about the test is that it was not measured with game programs. Instead of the method prevalent today, test programs have been introduced to measure everything from video conversion to the speed of cache and memory operations. Of course, 3DMark06 couldn't be left out either.
The configuration used for the test was as follows:
- Processor: Intel Q9650 (3 Ghz)
- Memory: 8 GB OCZ Fatal1ty PC2-6400
- Motherboard: EVGA NF-680i
- Video Card: Sparkle Nvidia GTX260 (896 MB)
- Video Card 2: EVGA 8600GTS (for PhysX)
- Video card 3: ECS Nvidia GTS250
- Operating systems: Vista Ultimate 64 bit, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Windows XP 32 bit
