Gamers React to Vista Launch
As cranky as IT folks are about having to roll out new Vista installs, support them, update them, etc, gamers are matching them in irritation. Ars Technica recommends you dual-boot XP and Vista if you want to keep gaming on your PC. Voodoo Extreme explores Vista's crappy audio setup, while Computer and VideoGames reports that some small developers think Vista will ruin PC gaming (a comment we've heard before). C&VG does have a slightly more hopeful article up too, talking about the future of Vista gaming and what the new OS could mean for games ... once all the kinks are worked out.
Just thought I drop a link to this article that actually looks at current gaming performance on Vista for both NVIDIA and ATI:
I swear a script writes articles like the one you link to. I mean they show pages and pages of how many frames per second you get, but never once mention that the sound is degraded to complete crap for half the games they are evaluating? Did they even have the sound on? Did they even spend five minutes playing each game in person to see if they still worked properly?
