I love windows 7, but there are 2 minor but VERY important issues that I cannot work out, thus prompting me to go back to vista 64

1) Punkbuster kicks win7 users running cod4 and 5 with an 'unknown api error' because pb doesnt recognise the operating system. Even Balance has stated categorically that they will not support a beta os. Ummm...hello. If you support it NOW, dont you think that you'll have that much less work to do when the rtm hits? So what are you gonna do? Wait until then to say...."Oh $hit, new operating system boy, lewwe wok on supporting it" and then take a month after W7 release to finally have support? Such poor conduct.

Not a major deal if you dont care about cod, but I do, so it kinna is.

2) No way around horrid crackling with most creative sound blaster sound cards. Could easily use onboard but integrated sound just cannot compete with the 6 year old sb live goodness pushing my beautiful Z-2300 set.

So it is with much regret I pack in win7 on my main machine...hopefully these issues will be resolved.

been a longggg time since i booted into win7... but i just couldn't make the shift over to a new OS. i have a horrific backup and reinstall procedure that my lazy behind can't take that much. so i'm sticking to vista until the rtm of 7 comes out.

OK, I got this issue (Punkbuster) as well when testing W7, but I didn't bother to do any digging.

Concerning the pb, I dug and dug, believe me. I started to feel like a paleontologist. No dice. They wont support it, there's no fix and that's that.

As for the sound blaster issue, same as above...

Sweet score

Arcmanov · « **Reply #148 on:** June 23, 2009, 09:43:02 PM »

JESUCRISTO!!!

How much tweaking at that bClk did THAT take!!?
A win is a win. Even though its 'only' by 55 pts.

I hope you shat yourself squeezing out that score.

LOL @ Rick James. I would like to thank the Sound Blaster X-Fi GameXtreme for giving me the few extra points lol

This man eh rich in joke nah lol

Here's the damage for the 3 runs in 06. Also included a CPU-Z and GPU-Z shot for good measure.

Redfish · « **Reply #153 on:** June 23, 2009, 10:10:48 PM »

You sir have TOO MUCH time on your hands lol with that said sweet score man

Arcmanov · « **Reply #154 on:** June 23, 2009, 10:12:59 PM »

Pwnt by 63 Hz and some MADD 4870 OC. Well done.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #155 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:40:41 AM »

203 marks less after the 3 run, again interesting.

How many points difference did the sound card make awesome?

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #156 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:58:42 AM »

creative has been singing this tune since the release of the audigy, that it takes enough load off the cpu to actually increase performance... but with i7 and quaddies on the scene didnt think it would still be relevant... nice to know.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #157 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:41:51 AM »

Actually, I was speaking in just. I doubt the sound card actually helped the score at all, since 3dmark 06 doesnt even use sound. In real worls games though, I can't say how much of a difference it really makes, if it does at all because I have not done any comparisons. My bet would be a couple fps more AT BEST with dedicated dound, which is next to nothing and pretty much invisible.
