Windows Vista Gaming: Yay or Nay? Part 2: Nvidia

Posted on Friday, March 16 2007 @ 5:06 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
DriverHeaven posted an article about gaming on Vista. The second part of the article covers Nvidia video cards.

“Early adopters of new technologies usually end up with the short end of the stick. Hardware and software issues are plentiful and it takes nerves of steel to deal with all of them. Mobile phones, mp3 players, DVD players and gaming consoles are known to have major issues at launch. But all tech launches pale in comparison to new OS releases. Linux is fairly safe from them because the upgrades are gradual. Windows being the complete opposite is prone to some major start-up problems though.

Here at Driver Heaven we decided to investigate how Microsoft’s latest product handles the pressure of running the latest and greatest games. In Part 1 of this ongoing performance analysis we tested how Vista performed on a high-end system running on ATI hardware - the results were quite positive.”
