Yet another summary of Nigel Page's discussion on Vista hardware reqs. I think this version is clearer because the summary categorises the hardware. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2005/09/07/vista_hardware_reqs/I understand that this is not official and probably only a speculation, but isn't the hardware reqs a bit over the top for something that will be released around xmas this year? QUOTE(kevinchlee @ Aug 5 2005, 06:09 PM) my windows can have a transperancy view coz my Graphics card 128mb ATI readon 9200se are not LDDM (Longhorn Display Driver Model) so i cant get the full aero feature QUOTE(Eoma @ Aug 5 2005, 10:51 PM) It still chugs with Aero on my 3.2Ghz 1GB X800 pro system. Haven't installed the soundmax drivers yet, most probably tonight. Did you access the newsgroups yet kevin ? I post mostly there, a bit lazy to use the Beta Client. If an X800 runs modestly, how badly does it perfom to Kevin's 9200? Anymore reviews or comments from anyone else using Vista? edit: typo This post has been edited by maianeh: Sep 10 2005, 10:32 AM |

QUOTE(Eoma @ Sep 10 2005, 02:24 PM) It's always like this. Software (with next-gen supporting features) will be released on current hardware that can run it "fine", but runs "best" on next-gen hardware. It drives the market. Anyway. Beta 1 is not focused on performance/eye candy. That's what Beta 2 is for. But the range between 9200 and X800 is a lot. And as an OS I'd expect them to design it to run best at current mid-range cards, like the X800...so when I saw that you said it was sluggish, I expected the 9200 to be able to run at plain graphics settings only... But I guess if they are not testing for graphics for this beta version it would be too soon to get reliable reports on the performance of GPUs. But I still can't get used to the idea of an OS needing such powerful hardware...it is only an OS after all...where the design is more important than eye-candy... |
