3DMARK06 - 13002 (VISTA x86)
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=4119271

(13669 / 13002) = 5.1%



PS: Clean install of both OS's and same settings on both runs (my stock settings). The only difference is forceware 169.17 for VISTA and 169.21 for XP PRO. There is no performance difference from this 2 set of drivers, so it is ok to compare them.

Nicely done comparison Simps

The next 3DMark will be Vista only, should bring back OS tweaking...those that know how to make Vista behave will have an advantage.
