Thankfully it seems Windows 8 continues to build on that pattern as we found it to be on par with and occasionally faster than Windows 7.
#WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE VS PROFESSIONAL FULL#
Microsoft seemed to hit full stride with Windows 7, developing a fast and efficient operating system.
#WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE VS PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS#
Similar to the previous 3DMark test, this relies on graphics drivers more than anything else. The difference isn not significant however.

Just Cause 2 runs just a bit faster on windows 7 than Windows 8 for both resolutions 1680×10×1200. Looking at the gaming performance for Battlefield 3, it can be observed that both operating systems provide similar performance with a very slight leading edge for Windows 7. Gaming Performanceīy testing these two performance intensive games on both systems we noticed that both operating systems provide similar performance with a very slight edge to Windows 7’s advantage: Internet Explorer works very slow in all version of windows. Also both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome perform faster in Windows 8 than Windows 7. Chrome works better in Windows 8 incomparison with Firefox runing on indentical Windows 8 computer. Different Browsers with Windows 7 and Windows 8Īs you can see, the desktop version of the IE10 browsers on Windows 8 delivered virtually the same performance as IE9 on Windows 7. When transferring thousands of smaller files we also found that Windows 7 and Windows 8 offer the same performance. Transferring Multiple Smaller Files Together Windows 8 and Windows 7 deliver similar performance in both situations.
The user interface is awesome, but on the performance side of things there is little difference when transferring multiple large files together or individually. It also stacks multiple transfer windows together. Windows 8 features a new Explorer interface for transferring files, which provides more accurate data on transfer speeds and estimated time of completion. Transferring Multiple Large Files Together Even when comparing apples to apples, with both operating systems running Excel 2010, Windows 8 is more efficient using the CPU cycles to its benefit on simulation. Microsoft ExcelĬomparing Windows 8 armed with the new Office 2013 suite we found that it was 10% faster when running our Excel test against Windows 7 using Office 2010. Multimedia performance is said to be another of the strengths of Windows 8, and as you can see when testing with PCmark 7, it was 9% faster than its predecessor. Still, the performance was very similar on both operating systems, though the more mature Windows 7 was slightly faster. 3D Graphics PerformanceģDmark 11 is used primarily to measure 3D graphics performance – meaning graphics card drivers play a vital role here. We then tested Windows 8 using our SSD and the exact same 10 second window was repeated. However we still thought 10 seconds was too long. Windows 8 shows a marked improvement here as well. Windows 8 took 8 seconds versus the 12 seconds in windows 7. Shutdown TimeĪ similar improvement is seen when measuring shutdown time. Windows 8 took 18 seconds while windows 7 took 27 seconds. Windows 8 Starts Up faster than Windows 7. To ensure fairness, we also ensured that both versions of Windows were identically configured. For this purpose we have carried out tests such as boot up and shutdown times, file copying, browsing, gaming and similar synthetic benchmarks on two identically machines. To obtain an unbiased view, together with my colleagues we conducted a number of speed and performance tests so as to compare Windows 8 with Windows 7. I am speaking about speed and performance Therefore, we decided to take on another perspective that can be a source of bad user experience. At this point we feel that initial reactions with regards to its usabilityand user experience where the user interface is concerned has been extensively covered. We have heard much about the new user interface, including that it is disappointing. Almost 3 months on, Windows 8 is attracting individuals spanning over every age group. Released on the 26th of October 2012, Windows 8 was Microsoft’s response to the increase in the huge popularity of operating systems in a short period of time.
