Many PC gamers around the world are struggling right now with the question, "Should I upgrade to Vista?" Some of us went ahead and took the plunge, experiencing only minor issues (my World of Warcraft framerate certainly took a noticeable hit), but many PC gamers only play one or two games at any given time, making judging overall performance a hit or miss affair.

Enter Jason Cross at Extreme Tech.

Jason has followed up an excellent article on how games worked during Vista Beta 2 with an exhaustive look at Vista performance at launch, in which he tests around 25 games across all genres, from FPS to MMO. He praises Vista's handling of onboard sound, points out Steam problems and missing Games Explorer icons, discusses issues with new or completely missing drivers...basically he covers all the concern PC gamers might have about upgrading to Vista at this early stage. A must read for anyone considering taking the plunge. Michael Fahey
