No performance hit in games for running Vista Aero interface

[Stonedofmoo]

This is good news for us gamers. I remember when the details on Vista were hazy they were saying that the Aero interface would always be loaded into memory, thus robbing you off precious graphics card memory in games, but thats not true

Performance is just the same as Vista suspends Aero whilst in a pure 3D environment (i.e. a full screen game)

Result!
