XP vs. Vista- A Tale of Framesrates
Somewhere I remember Microsoft claiming Vista would be the new gaming plateform of choice. I think not.

This article is not to slam Vista and label it as a poor gaming operating system. However, we will say that at the current time, gaming is not what it could be on Vista. Given all of the variables, it’s hard to dismiss the fact that Vista is the common denominator. Many (including us) have pointed at poor driver support being the Achilles heel of Windows Vista. In this case, we used two different graphics drivers and got essentially the same results: worse performance in Vista. If we then say, “Okay, maybe it’s not the graphics drivers,” then at what else do we point the finger? Chipset drivers? Hard drive access? RAM? Though we’ve seen upgraded chipset drivers improve system stability, it’s rare that we see it improve gaming performance.
