kilo1-1 1 Posted May 28, 2007 This has been known for quite some time. Pretty much every game played on Vista (DX9) is going to have some performance issues vs. XP performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
binkster 0 Posted May 28, 2007 Yea I knew it was known I just wanted to get more detailed on the difference. Knowing the FPS with each OS explains alot rather than just knowing performance sucks on vista. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
