Windows 7 + arma2

[Chrisgs]

Thanks for the replys guys, yeh ive defragged, anyways have my drive partitioned now with win7+vista, can run arma2 no probs on vitsa, just stutters on win 7, so now i run from drive d vista, arma2 is steam on drive c, done all the usuall stuff defrag, latest drivers etc, guess its no big deal now coz i just run it on vista, just wanted one os rather than two loaded up, wonder if i could transfer steam onto my drive d and vista, instead of downloading again as it takes ages, anyway, will keep trying to find a solution. ps all other programs and games including Arma work fine in my win7 partition. Yeh i still use both arma and arma2.

Windows 7RC 64bit here, FPS comparable to Vista 64bit.

Win7 64 for me is nowhere near as good as WinXP. XP gameplay is smoother, and ArmA 2 CTD's frequently on Win7.

Win7 and ARMA2 here as well - works really well.

OP: Check you really got the latest drivers all over when dealing with Win7 and ARMA2.

I've been lucky, I guess. I did a wipe and a clean install of Win7 64 and it runs ArmA2 flawlessly. I had been running on XP 32 and had the occasional glitch, but I find it hard to differentiate between the two performance-wise. If I had to make a flat-out statement about which was running better for me, I'd have to say Win7 64. I think there are a number of variables (hardware, drivers, lack of clean install, etc) that are producing various degrees of performance for people.

System specs?

I get CTD if I have video memory set to default. On very high all is well.

New format here, Win7 64bit. I get about a 10% performance decrease and crash now with every single display driver ever made for Win7 about 1 hour in game.

Even with an i7 920/gtx 285/6gb triple chan
