windows xp vs windows 7 gaming

[EpicCarnage]

seems to me after trying both OS's windows xp is superior in fps causing me to gain around 50 fps on left 4 dead using a sli 8 series setup?
when do you think windows 7 will catch up

I went XP to W7 at home and found it slightly better. Not massively, but a little. Compared with Vista on my work PC, it pumped fps up by about 50%, so big step up there!

That said I'm a nerd more than a gamer, I only play world of warcraft anyway, but hey, point is that some things benefit ^^;
