I have been trying to find a site that has benchmarked say the newest 28xx series build with win2k for Q3 and D3D games. Also to demonstrate the performace the the audio systems.
Has any site done this??
I keep reading that "XP is so much faster". But is this really true?
One of my best friends is very close to MS due to his position and they have confirmed the codebase is virtually identicle. Has MS made specific improvements to the HAL for XP to allow better gameplay??
Also in this context I have always been impressed by 2K performace with games compared to win98. My systems have always benchmarked as well or better with OGL. Howeer, I agree, Win2k D3D performace has suffered at times.
