I posted something similar in another thread but it didn't get answered.
I do like Vista, nice eye candy. The GUI runs well and all the standard stuff works fine. But gaming kinda sucks. I lose like 10-18FPS on everything compared to XP32. Sure it doesn't matter much with older games that perform exceptionally well with this card, but newer stuff suffers.
Is this really just a driver issue? Will Vista64 ever perform the same way XP32 does now with gaming? Or will it forever require a bit more power to run the same things at the same frame rates?
I really hate dual booting just to play a couple things.

Why are people making crap up about how bad vista really is?
