8800GTX 3dmark03 Vista vs. XP

[stm]

i installed the leaked 100.30 drivers for the 8800GTX for x86 Vista, and here are my comparisons between XP (97.92 drivers) and Vista in 03 (06 wouldnt run without a missed dx9 dll?).




stock speed on the GTX, and 2.6ghz for the AMD. i didnt tweak anything to get the score higher (minus no sound tests... no audigy 2 drivers for vista, unless im blind), its all for comparing.
of course 3dmark03 is still a dx9 app, so you cant compare that, but i guess these new drivers boosted dx9 performance anyways?

anyone else had a chance to test vista's 3d performance in comparison to xp's? im not exactly confident in these scores, as i only ran each once and didnt check for consistancy :/

3k gain is a lot

Have you tried comparing '01 and '05 ?

I did tested Vista (32 bit) with 6600DDR2 with 3D01 and it was slightly faster and yes 3D06 won’t go, another guy here tested Company of heroes with X1900XT and it was much faster but that time it was 64 bit

Edit : @XP run you used same resolution in the background as the test ? although it won’t make such big difference but it will be more like apples to apples

finally something to prove what 'a few' people have been saying..

[nn_step]

The problem you are having with 06 is because of Vista's nature and it has caused problems for many applications but yes it does appear to more efficiently perform in benchmarks

Hmm, Vista x64 sux on the other hand. I lost like 2-3K in 3dmark03 and like 10K in 01 using 7300Gt ddr3. You got me curious so I will test and see if non DX10 cards gain anything under x86 vista

By the way, anyone knows a working solution to overclocking nvidia cards under Vista? Nothing worked under x64 vista

[lawrywild]

Kiwi, what about Nibitor

3k is a lot. Would also like to see 01 and 05 compared.

Seeing stuff like this makes me want to jump on Vista Ultimate next week. Driver support still isn't 100% though is it? I mean from Creative, ATI, Nvidia etc.

I am also wondering if going 32bit is the wisest choice or should I go straight to 64bit to finally take advantage of my cpu being able to do so.

Kiwi, what about Nibitor

You mean bios edit? Sure that works but how about without bios mods?

[lawrywild]

Well if you buy Upgrade or Full Retail copies, you get x86 and x64. I get a Home Premium Upgrade copy next week

Ye 3k are from bugged 2003 - read the whole tread :

Hi

Please can You test compare 01 score ?

[zakelwe]

Can we see test performance as well for 03 GT2,3 and 4 ?

doesnt G80 use different drivers?

i'll try more tests later. no time

[albertwesker]

does anybody know how to oc the 8800er on Vista?

Yep, they do

[deathman20]

STM: Yes there is audigy 2 sound drivers trust me they are out there on the site.

BTW nice scores. I haven't run anything besides 05 and 06 in Vista.

How did those compare against XP?

I think the only supported for Vista is the 06 atm.

Nice results.
I tried also but benching time ago with my old 7600GT and Vista RC1 and vista resuts were 100 points beyond the XP ones.

Strange thing happened this weekend, I reformatted from XP to Vista Ultimate and went from 57641 to 49514 on 3D Mark 01. I was using the 100.40 drivers on Vista and the 97.92's for XP. I was so disgusted I wiped the drive clean and the copy of Vista with my AZZ and threw it in the trash. Mabye i missed something... Better get the rubber gloves out.

[hot_fifty]

32 or 64 bit Sin?

32 or 64 bit Sin?

I was running the Vista 32 Final 6K.

I am willing to wipe the drive and give it another try if you think i really messed up.

[hot_fifty]

how is vista x64 scoring?
