Which OS Is Better For Gamming? XP or Vista?

Hi,

I have a question. Which OS is better for Gamming. XP professional or Vista? Please tell. It will be very helpfull.

Regards

 

Just considering that there is no DirectX10 Support for XP, you should go for Vista.

 

windows 7 is out in *checks calendar* 12 days.

 

LoCo, what difference does the directX makes?

 

It depends on your Hardware which is better for gamming.
If you have a good Pc i would suggest you to use Vista cause of Directx 10.
That rings the bells of your video card .
But there is also another solution.If you have a slow pc you can download Directx 10 for Xp.
For me i personally use Vista cause it has many new features .
The difference of x9 to x10 is that you have a way better graphics.

Got any other questions feel free to ask or contact me .

 

Thanks natashalein. I have a Core 2 Duo 3.0 with 6mn Cache. But the thing is, I don't have licenced windows vista and I dont want to buy one. also, DirectX 10 for XP will work as good as DirectX 10 of vista?

 

A german Team tried to convert Directx 10 to 9 but they failed.But a russian coder team managed to rewrite the code fitting to xp.Yes I use it myself and i have to say that i notice no difference in crysis or any other games it runs like a charm .

 

I think Vista is great OS for gaming purposes

 

Thanks a lot again! Another question, I need to buy an economical Graffix xard. Something smaller than 9500 GT! It can be an Ati Card. Please Suggest!

 

If you want to play mainly games i would suggest you to buy a nvidida geforce card.They are mainly conceptet for such stuff.Ati is in my opinion a both in one solution.

 

Yea I know, But I asked a model that is good and economical. Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT is very good and expensive. While Nvidia geforce 9400 GT is cheap and Just Good. So I am asking you to recommend mea good card which is economical!

 

If i were you i would take the Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT cause if you take other one you won't be happy if you are getting lags .

 

yea, I hate lags. But I dont have that much money aswell! I would have gone with the 9800 if It was selling cheap! lol ! What do you say about ATI RADEON 4650 DDR2 1GB

 

1 Gb of video ram should be enough at the moement.Moreover your Cpu is quite good so it run smoothly .

 

Yea my system is good, But I am short of Ram at the moment. Only 1GB!

 

Ohhh 1Gb is way to much really you should have at least 2Gb.Then i would suggest you to take xp..cause vista uses that 1gb for itself^^...

 

yea I herd that already! I am going to upgrade to 3! soon!

 

It's 200% vista, if you regularly update

 

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Vista""""""""""

 

Vista is a horrible operating system for gaming. You can't really get legitimate answers by idiot posts like these two above me ^. The Windows XP operating system has more room and allows you to actually play games, unlike Vista where most of your processor is eaten away by Vista itself. There's also the task of administrative issues when running a game.

Yugo,
