ATI X1600 TD256E on Vista

[Guest]

Thought I should repost here as my main theme is gaming....

Interesting Video and other results in comparison with my XP machine at
PCPitstop.com

The XP....... MSI Nvidia 5900 128MB video card scored

328 million pixels per second

The Vista MSI Ati X1600 TD256E
scored

66.7 million

Lot`s of difference there.

Hard drive results were disappointing too. The Vista machine only scored 77%
of similar drives. I have thought it sluggish since I formatted with Vista
(far too quick imho). I used Max Tools to test the drive it is perfect, has
to be the format or the OS imho. Every other I`ve spoken to testing Beta atm
say`s the same best results are when the drive is formatted using another OS
not the apparently quick format Vista uses.

All graphics appear clean but games can be stuttery as it calls to the drive.
