Video Drivers?

Postby ceriux » Sat Feb 06, 2010 7:41 am

So i was wondering should i revert back to my windows xp drivers instead of running my vista ones.

currently im running windows 7 but iv had some issues....

anyways here's what i got.

vista: looks nice, has a buncha features i like that areo provides. but 3ds max runs like shit.

xp: i loose all the features that help me navigate , and i cant use areo to its full potential and my os doesnt look as nice... but 3ds max runs great!

so id like to hear what everyone thinks before i do anything.

OS's are not important anymore. Is what you do with then.

I am a linux fanboy-zealot-fanatic but I have W7 on this netbook because kinda works.

I could probably install Ubuntu in 30 minutes, and continue using the exact same applications (mostly Google chrome).

I have built my software enviroment about opensource (inkscape, gimp,..) so I am free to use then all (all the OS's), the ones that are more convenient for the task.

XP seems the more convenient now for gamming. But things change, and I see me forced to switch to W7 on my main game machine. But not in 2 years.

My working computer is a different thing. Since none of the windows OS support multidesktop, and seems even the russian hacker of sysinternal can add multidesktop to windows.. then windows is doomed with not proper multidesktop. Is a huge nerf. Like a browser withouth tabs. So for serius work, I want my Gnome and I would probably suffer using a windows.


Your choosing of wording for the subject is weird .. Drivers?.. what has drivers to do with anything?
