Rob Williams over at Techgage has been running Windows XP and Windows Vista through their gaming paces, comparing performance between the old clunky operating system and the shiny new powerhouse. The results? There seems to be something to say for clunky and familiar.
Testing games running on identical systems between two different operating systems, Windows XP performed better in most games, with only a slightly higher frame rate in Quake IV. 3D mark scores gave XP a slight lead as well. While the tests were performed using a release build alongside the newly released NVIDIA Vista drivers, it really doesn't look like gamers should rush out to upgrade any time soon. Hit the full article on Techgage for Rob's methodology and conclusions.
