Hi all,
I'm new to windows 7 and want to know more about it.I've been a loyal xp user for ages and never used vista before.I'm a gamer and I prioritize game performance very much with as much eye candy options if possible.The reason I want to try windows 7 is to see whether the dx10/11 will benefit anything with the games.So i got win7 installed with all the updates and latest drivers for my hardwares:
GF8800GT - latest whql from nvidia
Audigy 2 ZS - latest driver from creative site with win7 support
DP35DP mobo - latest from intel win7 drivers
So far it looks excellent/on par with xp's performance on dx9 games(tested fear 2 and sega rally revo).Only one problem,the sound is in stereo and not surround.The speakers is set to 5.1 and the test goes fine in the sound control panel.But in games it seems the surround isn't working.Is this normal or somehow the sound driver is being worked on?I haven't test any other apps like dvd player to see wether it's game related only.Thanks in advance for any input.
