Also CaseyDDR, you are kind of correct that under the hood Vista and Windows 7 are fairly similar but Windows 7 incorporates a ton of tweaks for greater efficiency and is also more capable of fully utilizing newer hardware and technological advancements due to these tweaks.

Also for another graphics comparison check this: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2343316,00.asp

they should be similar considering, if I have my Windows NT versions correct, Vista is NT 6.0 and 7 is 6.1.

Correct. I'm not saying there will be an insane difference in performance but there will be a difference there. It's like the case with a lot of multiplat console games. It's normal the lead platform will have an edge but unless you put them side by side you won't see a whole lot of difference. Just that one will be smoother and will show slight performance benefits over the other.
