Hi.
Im going to get strait to the point.
I recently purchased a system which came pre-installed with Win7 Ultimate X64. Now i was getting good frame rates during games however i decided maybe if i install XP home 32-bit i might get better frame rates. However i did not, it was basically the same. Which drawed my attention because XP was 32-bit and my previous Win7 was 64-bit. I did not have a Win7 x64 disc lying around however i had a Win7 32-bit disc. So i installed Win7 Pro 32-bit and my frames have been better than all previous installations. The games i were playing were Crysis 1, COD4 & COD MW3.
In Win7 Pro 32-bit i can max out crysis @ 1600x900 with an average of 45 FPS. With Win7 Ultimate 64-bit i could Max Crysis out but only get an average of 25-30 FPS.
So whats going on here??
My friend said it could also simply be that the GTX 285 drivers are poorly optimized for 64-bit?
So basically the question here is, is Windows 7 64-bit really better than Windows 7 32-bit for gaming?
My System:
Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.8GHz
XFX 780i 3-way SLI mobo
XFX GTX 285 1GB GPU
4GB DDR2 800MHz Ram
500GB Sata HDD
650w Thermaltake Toughpower PSU.
