Sadly we’d all have to switch to Vista sooner or later. Atleast for a new computer that is. You can still keep the 2nd computer with XP =3 Thing is Halo 2, Crysis, UT2k7 use DX10 so it’s sort of a forced move. But as everyone was saying above there is no need to move to vista atm until SP1 is out or unless one of the inspired DX10 game comes out. But the performance drop isn’t that bad since you are using the latest graphics card with much of everything else being supposedly high end. You only need a minimum of 60fps to run a game smoothly anyway.

Why only GeForce cards was tested? NVIDIA vista drivers are very poor vs Ati. Toobad their didn’t include Ati cards in their tests. I’m sure ATi vista is not that far from XP.

@queef:
a router with NAT won’t stop outgoing connections of rogue programs from connecting to the net- it won’t stop spyware from downloading trojans, etc. Just having a hardware firewall isn’t enough these days.

ScytheNoire – software firewall? what the fuck are you talking about? spend some money you cock gobbler and buy a router with NAT. All software firewalls are shit, you have no clue wtf your talking about.

m3zero – actually he is right in some aspect. Linux is challenging, albeit totally useless right now for modern day gaming, and whether you want to believe it or not, thats the truth, end of.

Actually, m3zero, based on your argument, Windows would be more challenging than Linux! According to you, Linux gives you the option to change every settings, meaning which, windows doesen’t, meaning which you really have to dig into gpedit, regedit, hexing, win32api, ntapi and undocumented stuff to change every setting! Thats more challenging, right? Plus, with Windows, you get viruses, spyware, crashes, buffer errors, memory leaks, security holes… phew! I definately say its much more challenging than Linux! Boring Linux, its so secure and stable, nothing interesting ever happens on it..

you have no idea mate, LINUX is the way forward, its the a OS with actually has multi-tasking abilities unlike windows. IF you never used Linux then you don’t know. Most reason people don’t use Linux is because its not as stupidly easy to use as windows!… if u ever played a game on Linux you would understand, yes your right not many top line games are not out of Linux… that’s out of my hands… but Linux all the way, Windows is for amateurs, who need BIG ICONS to see where they are navigating to… don’t be LAME… try something that’s challenging and that gives you the option to change every settings…

Linux-fanboi’s

Linux does not support gaming, and has no chance ever at DirectX 10 gaming. So Linux isn’t even in this battle, they couldn’t even make it in, so they are even behind Mac OSX. Now that’s lame, behind Apple. Suckers.

As for ATI/AMD video card, we can’t judge that until they release DirectX 10 video card. Until then, nVidia is the only Vista DirectX 10 gaming card in town.

ATi Card perform better than Nvidia cards in Vista. Nvidias shitty driver quality is on overdrive with Vista.

This is the obligatory “Vista sucks, use Linux”-post.

Vista sucks, use Linux.

Nothing to see here, move along.
