Directx 10.1 And Vista Compared To Directx9.0c And Xp

I am thinking of switching to Vista Home Premium 64 bit from old tried and true XP.

I will be using the same hardware in my signature as well.(perhaps using a raid 0 configuration)

How much, if any FPS or other performance increase in gaming, is there going from XP to Vista 64 bit home premium?

I play mainly CoD4, Far Cry 2 and Oblivion.

Oblivion plays fine on Vista x64, tho' I hadn't played it on XP. I can't speak for any other DX10 games, but BioShock looks great in DX10 mode. :D

 

Overall, my move from XP x86 to Vista x64 was very good. No slow downs, don't know if they run faster, but they all run as expected.

 

Edit-

Hooray for 1000 posts!

Brrrrr... Chitown is cold, too cold for this time of year.

Born and raised there for 35 years until moving to Dallas. :thumbs-up:

 

Yeah well the guys in Chitown get better clocks.

I love Vista I haven't had one problem other than not being able print to our Sharp printer (which is entirely Sharp's lazy fault for not developing them) I just print my stuff from my dad's XP computer. But I love it other than that, and Sims 2 I can play every game on it (I believe it is the 64bit OS problem not Vista that I can't play Sims 2)

I love Vista. DX10 FTW! I don't care what people say, I can't go back. It just looks soooo good.

 

I noticed a performance decrease when I went from XP to Vista on my 7900GS SLI, but the performance what I've gotten with later cards is so good I haven't cared to really test them back in XP. So as long as you're on recent video hardware you'll be fine.
