I got a shiny new x850 Pro last week so that I could run the hardware accelerated effects of Windows Vista. I was poking around and decided to take some graphics benchmarks on each platform. I think there might be some weirdness going on. I'd like to know what you guys think about it.
My spec:
dual Xeon at 3.0 GHz (200 MHz * 15)
2048 MiB OCZ
ATi x850 Pro, 12 Pipes (not nlocked to XT speeds), running 500 MHz core and 1000 MHz memory
Wndows XP SP2, all patches and updates, latest ATi drivers
Windows Vista Beta 2, all patches and updates, latest ATi drivers
All benches were run at 1024 x 768 x 32 with no AA, i.e. default settings
In 3DMark01 I saw this:
3DMark05
Should Vista really be that far behind in 01? Isn't the 6.0 kernel supposed to have better memory management that is supposed to help performance like this? I'm going to run 06 in a minute or two here. I'll let you know how it goes.
