Is windows 7 a good operating system for gaming?

I am getting a new computer and have a question about some of the specifications...first and most importantly should i get the windows 7 upgrade and stiil be able to play all the games...?



Second how good compared to others is the NVidia GT220 video card compared to others from NVidia series...?|||Of course! I've been using the pre-release (Win 7 (RC) Ulimate 64 bit since May and it has been pretty awesome in gaming.



Windows 7 supports the latest DX11. ATI started releasing their new HD 5xxx series of DX 11 cards and Nvidia will do the same in a few months. GT220 is just a DX10 card that is quite similar to the older 9600 GSO (w/ 48 stream processors) but just 128 bit memory interface. I would expect the GT200 to perform better than a 9500GT; not spectacular really. You might want to consider postponing your purchase a bit to wait for Nvidia's DX11 cards or just opt to get the ATI HD 57xx series;

They are quite comparable to the GTS 250 but are more future-proof (in terms of DX11 support).



Win XP only supports DX9.0c and Vista up to DX10.1. The GT 220 will just run at DX10 in Windows 7.
