Hi,

I Bought Vista 64bit Home premium edition a few weeks back, installed it and then played some counterstrike and my fps was quite a bit lower than it normally is in xp, so i have moved back to windows xp.

My system is:

AMD 64 4000+ @ 2.7ghz
BFG GeForce 7900GTX
OCZ Platinum Ram 2Gig Matched DDR
Asus A8N SLI-SE Motherboard
Tagan 480W PSU
Artic Cooling Freezer 64pro cpu cooler
Creative Audigy 4 Soundcard
Seagate Barracuda 80gig harddrive

It scored a 4.4 in the vista hardware test thing. So which part of my system is not up to running vista and gaming?

Thanks
 
Aside from the fact that the drivers in Vista might not be fully optimised yet or at least not as good as they could be. The fact that you have a single core CPU (albeit a fast one) is probably the most immediately noticeable issue. :)
 
Yep it's drivers or something Vista related.

Running latest nVidia Vista drivers?

edit: especially as you're running the 64 bit version, drivers won't be as polished as the 32 bit variants

i'd go with a wild stab at vista being your main problem...stick with XP until they release a service pack :/
 
ok, i guess ill leave it sitting there unused until there is a new service pack for it, then see how counterstrike runs with it.
