Gaming Performance: Windows Vista SP1 vs. XP SP3

ExtremeTech tests Vista versus XP in gaming performance and in synthetic tests showing that the performance difference is negligible pointing to poor drivers accounting for the drop in performance when using Vista in it's infancy.

nVidia and AMD drivers have finally matured.

At one point, nVidia's drivers were so bad, they were directly responsible for 33% of all Vista crashes. That's crazy.

so now it is about the driver or vista?
vista still sucks?

hmm, no offense but maybe its not about Vista, it is shown pretty obviously

However impressive these results are, it's like comparing a PS2 to a PS1, since when does the predecessor have the technical edge? I'm sorry, I'm running Vista Ultimate right now, next time Vista inevitably crashes I'm booting up with XP.

"it's like comparing a PS2 to a PS1"

WOW, I guess you are not very familiar with OS cumulative and compatibility progression specially for Windows...cuz like it or not that is how it works

If your vista crashes, I dare say you are the cause.

ECM0NEY5853d ago

Dont even listen to Tmac he is a sony fanboy. All he knows is Playstations.

Where are the top Microsoft haters when you need them? DJ... care to comment? It should be obvious that when a new OS comes out hardware makers need to fix lots of their drivers to work correctly... as they do... the OS become more and more stable... Vista Performed better on many games than XP SP3... will you stop the vista hate already? Losers...

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II Review - A Visual Feast Lacking Depth | Chit Hot

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II has now launched, bringing with it some of the most stunning visuals you've ever seen in a game.

The first game lacked depth as well, but the graphics were phenomenal

...not to mention the sound / atmosphere. Especially when using headphones.

Going to be real. I’m playing on my PC and every setting is on high at 60fps locked. The game is beautiful, sounds good in headphones (I’m sorry but Returnal still holds the aural crown), and has an impressive photo mode. Can literally hit that at any time. You won’t have full control at certain times, but it’s impressive. After more than an hour I’ve already started to get bored. The fights are brain dead so far and it is a CRAP ton of walking and listening. I’m over the beginning “theme” of you did this to us (people that have played will get this as not to spoil anything). I literally non stop run every chance I get. Obviously isn’t the whole game but gahdamn. Hopefully it picks up soon. Definitely can’t see this being a 10/10 by any stretch of the imagination because the beginning has gotten so boring. Here’s to a better experience tomorrow or Friday when I pick it back up.

Agreed. I've played about 34 mins & it was boring. I'm going to try again tonight for another half hour or so & see if it gets better.
