I recently switched from 8800 GTS on windows XP to 8800 GTS on windows vista. I have all latest drivers installed. Here is what I noticed.
Good:
* Better fps
* The infamous hitches-inside-buildings-bug (eg. Danzig) was completely fixed (also with world detail on high)
Bad:
* I couldn't get hardware 3d (with or without EAX) to work. Sounds were 2.0 instead of 7.1. I have a sound blaster X-fi XtremeGamer. At first I thought it was a Vista limitation, but 7.1 sound did work on the BioShock demo in Vista..
* Texture flicker/ Z-fighting still occured (f.e.: closed windows facing river in Danzig)
Any know if it is possible to get hardware sound working in RO / UT2004 under Vista?
