$ick Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Has anyone tried playing any of the latest games and see any performance improvements on the new OS? Can you run 3dMark05 on Vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiiragi Tsukasa Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoFreX Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
