the software based GUI is bloated like in XP the aero HW GUI is a lot faster and the gpu dont even feel it if you can run aero do it switching from aero to the classic one wont help you in fact will make vista slower... live with it vista is as fast or faster than XP......
Well I found that I was not comparing apples to apples
So New Vista VS aging XP Vista win for sure but old vista i dont, know
all attached
Edit: Just want to add two pints
Both OS used exactly same settings and drivers (XP drivers works)
ATI tool works with 32BIT Vista bit sometimes it fails to launch so you need to uninstall and reinstall rivatuner not working at all
Use 3D Mark 2006.
Promise to do it tomorrow but with the same rig 2.6GHZ Venice with Geforce 6600 DDR2Quote:

so by what im reading 80's see a performance gain in vista? even non 80's with the new driver? because i might speed up my ram upgrade in order to see a speed boost at 1280x1024:)

Personally I think XP have better use off CPU
@ FX57 run same resolution @ your Desktop as 3D mark (1280X1024) and close that thingy on the right (totally even the shaded part ) and your score will go past 11K
Installing 3D06 right know
Instalation failed DX error :mad:
XSAlliN,
Tom's was kind enough to publish a driver test comparison for Vista and XP, shame they done it last month and with old drivers so the article is outdated a second after it came out.
But anyway it proves my point, if you just get a mature Vista driver you should not have a performance loss.

It is clear from the comparative charts that AMD (formerly ATI) has a Vista driver that maintains the same performance level as that of its Windows XP counterpart. Microsoft stated that it would not be uncommon that graphics performance under Vista would come in 5%-10% behind that running on Windows XP. Nvidia hits that target with image quality enhancements disabled but when antialiasing and anisotropic filtering are enabled it is a different story. I retested the Nvidia GeForce 7900GTX under Vista again to verify that indeed there was a 50% reduction in performance at 2048x1536 with 4xAA and 8xAF. At both 1600x1200 and 2560x1600 the performance reduction was 37%
Vista is as fast while I have an ATI card just saying game wise I don't have a problem infact most ran bearly below that of XP or better. Benchmarks in 05 and 06 are a little off what they where in XP though nothing im going to go ballistic over. I'll be getting the official release as soon as it hits the shelves.
Glad to see the G80 has drivers for Vista now though. Curious if Supreme Commander will run DX10 currently in its beta form.
I'm not sure - from what I know about Vista and DX10 - "NO" - but from Syn. point of view - "YES" - guess only time can answer that question.Quote:

Now if you where to run games on Vista with a 3000+ offcourse would such a CPU limit the DX10 generation of GPU's.
You can have all the efficiency of programming in the world but if you tie a donkey with your hoarse to a carriage the speed at which you will travel will be the fastest the donkey can run, not the horse's.
CPU still is the Central Processing Unit, the PC will only run as fast as the CPU is.
Of course E6600 + a DX10 card would get a better performance but the man asked:
I's sure that AMD 3000+ at 2.5 ghz + GF 8600GT wouldn't bottleneck in Vista by playing games and that's my final opinion on this subject (at least until GF 8600 GT is out ).Quote:
So i should expect So i should expect bottleneck with my 3000+@2.5ghz? with my 3000+@2.5ghz?
so does this driver work on rtm 6000 with my 8800gtx?
of courseQuote:

Thats right rattle feel your way to the Vista side ;)
I just hope they're right about Vista not being so dependent on CPU and i'll step-up to an 8800gts:D At 16*10 i could use the graphical power.
