And that hasn't been so in several months.
It's still true to some extent for even the latest video cards as published benchmarks show.
So as I have said many times in this thread, the games in Vista with DX9 run at the same performance levels as they do in XP.
That is still untrue as I proved regardless of how many times you repeat it.
Already, nVidia leaked graphic drivers come out first for Vista and then XP.
The reason for that is not because there are more Vista users, but rather that Vista users need leaked drivers more than XP users. Since Vista performs worse and is less compatible than XP, Nvidia has to do more revisions to Vista drivers to try to get them right. XP drivers perform better and are more compatible/work better with games so there is less need to release them as frequently. XP users aren't clamoring as much for new drivers so there is less need to releasee them before certification testing is done on them. With leaked video drivers the squeaky Vista wheel is simply getting the grease.
