well as the topic suggest's crysis is near and vista has been out for a while now i am wondering where are all the claims of 7-8 times the performance of windows xp?

9 out of 10 cats say its actually slower which benchmarks cleary show and even if ms did lie guess no one can touch them anyways i find it so damm annoying it might be ok if we could boycott them for such unfounded claims but its windows lol and its not as if u have a choice huh?

disgusting what u think?
 
I wondering about the claims of 7-8 times the performance as well...


..wondering where the hell you read them. I've never heard anyone make that claim about Vista.
 
i should re phrase about vista i think the claim was made about direct x 10 it was someone like bill gates who claimed it someone very high up i remember reading it on lots and lots of sites before vista launched. i would have no reason to make stuff up.

and i only wish linux catered for my gaming needs ;)

ive looked google but now find nothing about the claims and cant really be bothered to trawl more but at least one other person here must remember's such claims? :o ill have a another look later
 
direct x10 and its hardware is still new though. as well as vista. shouldnt we give this a little longer.
 
I wasn't expecting any where near 7-8 times performance boost over xp :o
Like you say, if you like gaming then you just have to put up with any bs.
 
Yeah, it does, particularly when the system is under load. I've had the same experience with USB devices (and I'm talking hard disks here, so there really shouldn't be any performance issues).
 
I'll believe it when I see it. I'd heard there was supposed to be a fix for it in this month's batch of updates, but that didn't happen.
 
Half the stuff we where promised fro Vista never happened. What happened to this 'no install, boot from the CD console mode' thing we where meant to be getting?

All we ended up with, and it still cracks me up every time I hear someone from MS pimping it is a 'special folder' for our game icons.

HELLO!!!! we've always had this it's called a folder ffs! And it's called 'Games' it's where solitaire/mine sweeper etc have been living for years.

ok it's a tarted up folder but puhlease what benefit is it really having? The way MS go on about it you;d think it was a gamers holy grail.
