Vista > XP?

ThatGuy16 · 10-22-2007, 10:38 PM

I like vista better than XP... i would say keep it, i see no disadvantage in games with it. Even with my X800XL it performs just as well on vista as it does XP. I'd say you would get no performance gain...

It could and will vary from system to system; even with the same specs.

Another thing to consider is that Vista is down right buggy. My system is constantly crashing or holding-up.

What I wanted was that should I go back to XP.......

that's not a very good "experiment" (or at least imo). So what if you have the same graphics card...that still leaves a TON of variables that could be different between systems.

The only way to actually check would be to run multiple benchmarks on the same machine. (Which I did a few hours ago previous to seeing this thread lol....look at my sig for 3dmark06 scores in xp/vista)

I made a similar thread because there was a mis-communication with the topic.
