8800GT Crysis Benchmark Issues?

I'm just going to leave it, as you have no idea how to comprehend reason.

You seriously need to do something about this attitude of yours. I already dropped it, in fact I pretty much agreed with you, so I don't know why you're still being a condescending little troll.

Are you that desperate to trash my thread as much as much as possible? Are you trying to get yourself suspended? If so you're doing a superb job of both and you're bound to get there if you carry on.

You've hardly agreed with me. In fact, you've argued pretty much any point I've made.

Regardless, I hardly think that I'm 'trolling', I'm making fair points, albeit agressively, and you're argueing back. If you're really that concerned about your thread being trashed, stop fighting fire with fire.

That's where you're wrong. I wasn't arguing with you, and you might remember me saying that I wouldn't recommend 4GB RAM or Windows XP to just anybody?

I was simply stating why 4GB RAM is beneficial to me, and why I had problems with Vista. You, on the other hand, only seemed to want to tell me how daft I am for having a computer configured in such a fashion.

Again, I wasn't arguing with you, I was explaining why *I* have my system configured in such a fashion and why it isn't a waste of time. But at least you admit that you were thread trashing.

Judging from your new signature, I'd recommend you take some time to read the FAQ before you get a holiday.

If you'll endulge me:

The whole argument spawned from you moving to XP, forgetting the ram arguement (as you seem capable enough to check ram usage, therefore being able to prove it's usefulness in your paticular situation), the point I am making is that your machine is unable to use the 4GB's of ram effectively when you aren't doing anything stressful on your machine - furthermore, atleast 2 of your CPU cores are being managed badly by XP, threads jumping back and forth etc, sometimes (albeit rarely) leading to memory leaks.

I think Ulf has indulged you more than most guys would. He hasn't disagreed with your arguments, he's just spending his money as he likes and using what OS he prefers.

I'm sorry, but the problems I was having with my Vista install were far too big for better memory management to take my mind off of. I couldn't even run 3D Mark 06 or the Crysis benchmarks, and my X-Fi just hated it.

It's possible it was just a bad install or that I had something configured incorrectly, but after trying everything I could short of reformatting, I simply decided to give up. If I was going to reformat, I was at least going to go back to an OS that's not given me any trouble. I gave Vista more than a fair chance and it wasn't the first time.

This seems logical to me, so I don't see why you have such a huge problem with it.

Thanks Random, I really don't see the problem. Honestly, it's completely lost on me.

I didn't even resort to "omgz stfu Vista is tah suk!" or anything like that, I pretty much agreed with him that Vista is a good OS for people who can get it running properly and that 4GB is too much for most.

X-fi eh? Their drivers have been known to be shoddy and cause application crashes on 64bit vista... Might have just found the cause of all the commotion. Creative

I tried without the X-Fi and drivers well, as it initially caused an IRQ conflict (which wasn't there before I installed Vista) and the problems didn't go away.

My X-Fi and its drivers work perfectly under Windows XP, as expected since Creatives Vista drivers do suck.
