Gaming Performance Windows XP vs. Windows Vista


Recommended Posts

Well I was using RPG Maker XP, which is the closest to gaming, and I had 10 frames less than on XP, even with glass disabled.

Otherwise no, I don't feel like using my 15 days of Beta 1 gaming.

I played Half-Life 2, there wasn't any noticeable difference in FPS or load times, but seeing as my FPS is ~40 anyway I could probably drop 10 without noticing. Steam was one of the programs that appeared to be running faster in Vista than XP (an effect I put down to not having 260 programs installed on Vista!). Roller Coaster Tycoon worked too, but I got an error whenever I quit it. If I get Vista installing on my main gaming pc, I'll do some benchmarks (crummy OS, not having SATA drivers for my mobo... grumble)
