poor gaming performance in windows xp

[Civilized]

man I ask a simple question and all hell breaks lose...my post was to see if anyone else experience the same performance drop (regardless of how my refresh rate or the price of egg drop soup in china applies to the overall visual performance/loss or gain)....I do play all my games at high resolutions so eventhough my monitor refreshes at 85hz, at intense cpu loads at high resolutions the performance drop is visually seen......so just say yes or no and if you feel enlighted tell me your experiences and keep your personal ego out of the mess....thank you and have a nice day =-]

would have been a better reply than the moron dirtbag part you actually posted. Might have given you some usefull answers. Now Im just gonna say to stick with 98 if all you care about is frame rates.

na the 9x kernel is too unstable...i prefer NT neday but thanks for the suggestion...i am using det 21.83 on both sytems so maybe the xp det drivers just arent totally optimized for xp yet?...

I don't think anything is quite optimized for XP at the moment, short of perhaps some software. I'm sure performance will increase over time, but I would guess that it is likely to not be quite as good as previous OSs, just due to the increased bulk of the OS.

You're just being anal if this really bothers you. You'll never even notice the difference with your eyes so who cares? There is a guy wondering about his framerates dropping into the 30's in another section. That's a legitimate question.

Actually I got an increase in my 3D Mark2001 with Windows XP over Win98SE. I don't have my Win2K score, it was about 2000, really bad.

No I think his post carries somewhat of a valid point. I really don't think he was looking for a diagnosis, I think he was looking for people with the same phenomenon. Clearly this post isn't about framerates, it's about performance in XP. Since there is such a framerate drop at the low resolution, my guess would be that it has to do with drivers not being fully optimized.

One more thing, Civil, if you get people pissed off at you then they definately are going to completely blow you off. And I don't know how long you've been around here, but things like that tend to blow up very, very quickly, so a simple explanation of the intent of the post would have done fine.

Cheers!
