Does anyone use Windows Vista in their PC for gaming?

[mohit9206]

Just curious to see if anyone still runs Vista to play latest games on their PC. I see some new games still support Vista but some others no longer support Vista.Anyone has any experience of running games from 2014 and 2015 on Vista?

Nope, I think most of us ran away from Vista as soon as Win7 was released. Not released within the last year, but I believe Battlefield 4 & Skyrim actually support Vista, though it was optimized for Windows 7/8. Dragon Age Inquisition is one of the titles that's 7/8 only, as I am sure you've discovered most titles within the last year have been Windows 7 or higher for system requirements.

vista runs perfectly fine. windows 7 = vista re-release because vista had a bad reputation. (vista already uses NT 6 and therefore the same engine as 7,8,10)
ive never seen anything not working on my vista, however driver issues "could" occur on new games because of AMD being lazy.

I used to on my old computer, which came with Vista. I got a dedicated graphics card for it (Radeon 6450), which helped it work. But I'd often have trouble streaming videos (Ethernet - 18Mbps down), I think it's a Vista problem. It worked well with modded Minecraft and stock KSP, but that's about all I played at the time.
