Title: Wanting to downgrade to XP
Post by: Roadkill on June 05, 2009, 08:49:31 pm

I really don't know if I should or not but do you think I should downgrade to XP? I am getting pretty tired of Vista. I will back up all of my shizzle on a separate hard drive so that won't be a problem.

What do you think?

The only benefit I can see from Vista at the moment is visuals and DX10.

XP doesn't really have good support to new generation games.

What do you mean by support?

New-ish games require DirectX 10. XP is not compatible with DirectX 10.

XP is the way to go, I can't name any games that I know of that need DX10.
I know there are some, but I couldn't name any off the top of my head.

Well I've looked on Google and found multiple game benchmark tests run on XP and Vista, XP had a much higher framerate.

Even if there are games that say you can only use DirectX 10, you can just fool it by changing your version number and it works fine.
