Windows Vista Gaming Performance - NVIDIA and ATI Compared
Saturday, February 3rd, 2007
I decided to take the retail version of Windows Vista Ultimate, got the latest drivers from both AMD and NVIDIA as of Friday and began
to spend my weekend testing. What is important to note here is that my intention is NOT to compare the ATI Radeon cards against NVIDIA GeForce cards — rather it was to compare the gaming experiences provided by ATI and NVIDIA on both Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Testing System and Setup Configuration
The test setup was pretty straight forward — run Windows XP and Windows Vista on the same system and see how performance varied in some popular titles. Our NVIDIA rig consisted of the EVGA 680i motherboard and an Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 CPU to test both the GeForce 8800 GTX and the 7900 GTX cards. The AMD X1950 XTX and X1950 CrossFire tests were run on an Intel 975XBX2 motherboard with the same X6800 processor. Both boards sported 2GB of DDR2-800 memory and a PC Power & Cooling 1 kilowatt power supply. PC Perspective - Windows Vista Gaming Performance - NVIDIA and ATI Compared
