Windows 7 shines with multi-GPU

"Ever since the first information on Windows 7 leaked there have been intense discussion surrounding the performance of the operating system. The current Windows Vista was anything but fast when it arrived and especially gamers avoided it at any cost. The development has improved things with Windows Vista but many are hoping that Windows 7 will become Microsoft's "performance OS" and now that the system has gone gold the labor bears fruit.

'The performance speedups are even more dramatic when you scale from one to two cards running SLI. Windows 7 64-bit ran a whopping 21% faster than Windows XP x86 at 1600x1200 at 19% faster at 1920x1200. Windows 7 was faster than Vista too. SLI performance was 9% greater with Windows 7 when comparing the 64-bit operating systems at 1600x1200 and 5% at 1920x1200.' "

I have to agree with you. Although that is at this point in time. I'm going to wait and see what windows 7 brings to the table first. :)

They would not be supporting multiple GPU setups? I would imagine any advantage over vista would be simply from less resources being used.
