Dragon Age: Origins - Which Windows is running faster?
Dragon Age: Origins runs fastest under Windows XP. In the most popular resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels our test system (Core 2 Quad Q9650, P45, Geforce GTX 285, Geforce 191.07 WQHL, 2x 2048 GiByte DDR2-1066) reached 65 frames per second. With Windows 7 61 fps were reached. On the last place is Vista with 59 frames per second. This means: Like most DX9 games Dragon Age: Origins runs best under windows XP. In direct comparison Windows 7 is about 3 percent faster than Vista 64.

839302 2009-12-14 08:18:00 Does Windows 7 run faster than Windows XP?

Would using Windows 7 improve the handling of games?

Is Windows 7 more secure than Windows XP?

Is Windows 7 better than Windows Vista?


The reason I am asking the above questions is I'm considering upgrading from Windows XP home to something a bit more up to date.


YES four times.

Can't be bothered looking up loads of games.
Games are what matters, not some magazines theory.
