in Darkfall

i'd like to know if the game worth to install Vista for the DX10. I have a very good PC but i don't want to format just for a liltle difference in having more shadow etc. Is there a spectacular thing between both

    I doubt very much that this game support DX10. I'm not sure if it even supports DX9, to be honest with you.

    The game does not utilize Direct 10, but it does work fine on Vista.    If you are currently using XP, there really is no need for switching to Vista unless you are planning on getting the 64 bit Vista, which can support more RAM.

    I have bought a new decent System on Dec08.

    First i started with Vista64 but not for 100'000 $ i would reinstall it ever again - maybe in 2-3 years when it reached the point where now xp64 is.

     

    The Driver support is terrible i couldnt get run properly my 4870x2, tried 5 different ccc versions and it didnt worked at all. Also i had loads of troubles with the SB fatality champion.

     

    If you like XP stay on it, i have now XP64 with 8GB ram and it runs really stable and slow. I'd rather stay away from DX10 than using a not finished OS (like Vista) and drivers.

    Sorry, but your driver problems aren't Vistas fault. But I am sure you know that already, you was just wanting to trash Vista.

     

    To the O.P.: As was stated, Darkfall couldn't use DX10 even if you did install Vista. In fact, according to the listed specifications, it only requires DX 9.0 to run.

    Sorry but that is just plain bull.. you obviously dont know shit about the OS, and just scratched the surface. Vista x64 owns Xp 32 / 64 bit any day... granted it might not be perfect, but nothing is. Performance wise Vista x64 just needs the proper hardware to really shine.

     

    It sounds like you heard someone talking about Vista and are now just guessing. Driversuppeort WAS BAD, correct, performance WAS not very good, correct, but now, with proper hardware which you seem to have, XP is just old news...

     

    Either you did something wrong, didnt update Vista fully, or whatnot, I dont know, but I do know that your above statement on Vista is based on absolutely nothing.

    It just goes to show you, with threads like these people actually think DF is a top of the line MMO. How more wrong can you be.

    You know what's funny? I just built a system with Vista 64 Ultimate and it runs like a charm. I've had no driver support problems, no BSoD the OS runs perfectly.

    I also have a laptop which has Vista 64 Home Edition and that runs like a charm also.

    Vista did have driver support problems when it first came out but so did all the other versions of Windows (XP, ME, 2000, 98, 95, etc). Now, however, unless you're using 10 year old hardware that's no longer supported, you shouldn't have any driver issues.

    My guess is that you either have no idea what you're doing or have no idea what you're talking about. Or both.

    It dont support dx10 i think it will run best on xp64bit at least 4gig ram.

    But it runs very good also on vista 64bit thats my system when i disable shadows i get avarage of 200+fps

    Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009.....
    In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.

    Ati always had terible drivers.

     

    But i have vista 64 8gig ram with sli 8800gt(sli dont work on darkfall) and i have np at all it  works perfectly run smooth as hell.

    I got when tweaked 350 to 400 fps but when i put most on max on disable shadow i still got 150 to 200fps.

    Game sucks on 32bit btw i tryed both on all kinds of settings.

    Let's get our facts right before posting bullshit information.

    XP 64bit supports the same amount of ram as Vista in Ultimate, Enterprise, and Business.


    Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit
    Max Memory: 128 GB

    Windows Vista Enterprise 64 bit
    Max Memory: 128 GB

    Windows Vista Business 64 bit
    Max Memory: 128 GB

    Windows XP 64 bit
    Max Memory: 128 GB

    Here's a link for your ignorance:

     I've played countless games on Vista 64 with zero issues. You may want to buy Personal Computers for Dummies and start with the foreword.
