I am dual booting XP and Windows 7. My question is , how comes i get more FPS , like 50% more on XP than i get in Windows 7 RC . I have the latest Forceware installed on both OS. According to benchmarks , Win 7 was supposed to be faster than XP in games. So what's the problem ?

I have same observation with my old 6200TC.I got better framerates with xp than win7.

But now I have upgraded to 9800GT and i must say that windows 7 is getting me more frame rates.

Pls list your hardware specification.

most likely a driver issue make sure you have latest drivers directly from nvidia or ati

The problem is that Windows 7 is a Release Candidate. Try the RTM when it is released.
