Hey all,

I remember trying Vista when it was first released and having to switch back due to games playing like crap. Now that Vista is a little bit older what is it like for games nowadays?

I play Call Of Duty 4, Battlefield 2 and all Source games.

Thanks, Sam
 
Been using Vista for some time now, I dont notice any difference in game play from XP. I have COD4, Crysis, Farcry, MOH all installed, they play great.
