Windows Vista for Gamers: Graphics Card Performance Preview
Wednesday, September 20th, 2006
Microsoft’s new operating system Windows Vista, previously known under the codename of 
Longhorn, won’t be released until the next year, but we should be already preparing for it, especially those of us who are into computer games. Gamers’ interests are rather neglected in the published previews of the new OS, and this is not quite right, in our opinion. Yes, it’s exciting and useful to know as much information about a new OS as possible, but each OS, however innovative it may be, has no practical value for the end user without applications.
Games are a most widespread and popular variety of typical applications that people run on their desktop computers. It goes without argument that quite a lot of future users of Windows Vista will play games, so it’s important to know how your graphics subsystem will perform in the new OS. Moreover, although the transition to the new OS is going to be a smooth and steady process for the computer world, gamers won’t avoid it just because the upcoming gaming titles will require support of technologies that can only be delivered by Windows Vista.
That’s the background behind this review. We want to fill in the blank and carry out a test of today’s graphics cards in the publicly available version of Windows Vista using a few popular games.
