I had high expectations before installing windows 7 that I would have equivalent or higher frame rates in most games, however I noticed that I get about 50-60 fps less in the games I've played. In the Source stress test I got around 246 fps with XP and now I get about 215 with 7, and in COD4 I would usually stay around 220-250 frames in XP and now I'm getting 160-240 fps depending on the map. Maybe it's a driver compatibility issue and hopefully it is because my gaming experience with 7 has been less than stellar. Other than that I really like it. Anyone else have similar issues?

I haven't experienced anything like that. It's something in your setup for sure.

It's probably in your game configs. I know that I tweak and play with my settings until I get them exactly where I want them. It's a pain trying to redo them after a reinstall or new OS.

Plus didn't you switch to a dual monitor config/different monitor? If your game resolution changed that will affect your performance, or if your card is drawing a desktop on your second monitor you will take a hit too.

I understand that Dagger, but I am comparing frame rates from my exact current setup. I have not changed anything except for the OS. So all the before numbers are from a dual monitor and new resolution as well. I did download this program that allows you to have different desktop images on each monitor, so I could try turning that off to see if it makes a difference. You buys know how to get two different backgrounds in 7 btw?

Make one large wallpaper in Photoshop and take the offset into account for the monitor with the smaller vertical resolution.

Well I've found other people having the problem with no know cause. What games have you guys played before and after windows 7 that you can compare? Have you played COD4, because maybe it's an issue with the game. I just can't imagine what the problem can be other than it needs a driver update.
