Re: Preferred gaming envrionment?
Vista was stable with my old system, completely unstable with my new one. Currently on XP64.

Re: Preferred gaming envrionment?
Vista 64 Ultimate with usually forced DX9, because I've yet to find a DX10 game I can play in DX10 mode at my desired 1280x1024 with a bit of AA and AF. E6600 @ 3GHz, 4GB and a 8800GTS 320MB isn't exactly ultra high end but the system is no slouch, at least not when I turn DX9 on.

8800GTS should rip through DX10 at 1280x1024. my 8800GT handles 1920x1200 on DX10 with no AA/AF. |

Re: Preferred gaming envrionment?
Vista with DX9. Not that thousands of games support DX10 anyway...

The 320MB model is the lowest of the 8800 series I believe, so perhaps that explains it, but then again I'm not asking for a whole lot when I try to run DX10 so I dunno why I can't seem to run it with acceptable results. Whatever the case, I've never found it viable to run a DX10 executable over a DX9 one. It seems pretty obvious to me DX10 in this card generation is reserved for the high end. |

Ya same here. It depends on the game. For universe at war I turn off DX10.

Re: Preferred gaming envrionment?
Vista. I wouldnt go back to XP.
