Vista 64 and FFR

Re: Vista 64 and FFR

7 is better than XP.

Ummm..... no? I'm using Windows 7 on my laptop with 4 gigs of RAM and let me tell you, it's not THAT great with FFR. I've AAAd some VC's with it, but that was out of luck.. It is also blowing for Stepmania too, just as bad as Vista did. Overall I'd say XP kills Vista + 7 in the aspect of being able to play FFR / SM. But on the downside XP can't read more than 4 gigs of ram iirc. So? XP only needs 2 gigs of ram to run faster than a Vista computer with 10+ gigs of ram (strictly speaking of flash games, mainly FFR). I've used Vista for 2 years, Windows 7 both the Beta and the RC builds, and have used XP for at least 5 years now.

Let me give you the chart again:

Windows XP > Windows 7 > a rock > Windows Vista

But hey, that's just the way I see it. Overall Windows 7 is definitely better than Vista, so when you can get 7, I'd go for it. Seeing as how what Who Cares said is pretty much true, it's hard to get XP drivers for a brand new comp, mainly why I'm spending $400+ to buy an XP laptop as opposed to downgrading my Windows 7 laptop in fear of not being able to find the drivers, and **** not working, etc.

WRONG, there's a 64-Bit version to Windows XP that CAN read more than 4GB of memory.

Yeah, I'm aware of the 64 bit. I was referring to the regular standard Windows XP.

Re: Vista 64 and FFR

I still have no clue why every single person in this forum complains about vista. I've never experienced any trouble with, in gaming, networking, anything.

What type of vista is it? Home? buisness? ultimate?

p.s. why the heck do you need 12 gigs of memory? I have 3 and my computer still runs crysis like butter.

Re: Vista 64 and FFR

7 is better than XP.

7 has more features but it still uses more resources (As many, maybe a little more than Vista actually). They're both great OS's, and 7 may be better but if you're looking to minimize lag on a flash game XP would be the route to go if you're looking at a Windows OS. Not trying to offend you but please don't offer advice on this subject when it took hours of other people pulling their hair out to help you install Windows 7.

Also did you install your NVidea graphics driver Rubix?


EDIT: I've also had problems with flash in Windows 7...not really 7's problem as I've had this same problem in other OS's.

Re: Vista 64 and FFR

Yep, I've got all my video drivers and everything updated. My system churns through Crysis on maximum settings like tissue paper.

Xandertrax: It's like asking why 8 inches instead of 6. 6 will get the job done, but 8 is awesome.

This made me lol. Although for me it is like

For me, I dont think that rock is better then vista. Vista works fine for me.

In Korea I used PC Cafe computers which all have 4GB Ram (some 8GB) and Windows XP
In USA I use my computer which has 8GB RAM and 64Bit Windows Vista

I got some good scores in Korea over summer
Here I get sh!tfailFAIL scores..

Re: Vista 64 and FFR

Vista actually isn't laggy at all with the right hardware but most hardware sucks balls with it. IMO torrent yourself some XP then switch to Windows 7.

My hardware is hard.

Re: Vista 64 and FFR

My hardware is hard.

It has more to do with it not being able to use certain pieces correctly rather than the need for more power.

Re: Vista 64 and FFR

Bix: i told you this the other day.... you and i have nearly identical systems, right? close enough for government work, at least. i have ZERO lag with FFR on my Vista64. same way i had ZERO lag on XP. no difference.

Re: Vista 64 and FFR

I have lag on both FFR and SM 3.9 -- give SM 3.9 a shot and let me know (I'd play something and everything felt at least a 16th note off). I experience a lot of lurching with FFR -- it's still playable but it's REALLY annoying to have arrows freeze momentarily and lurch every few seconds. We have slightly different systems although I don't know why I'm getting lag (no Aero helps though).

I've got zero lag on XP though, no lurching.
