Gaming is the one area in the preview that is a disappointment. As you can see, the standard benchmarks games under XP64 Preview were 4% to 51% slower than 32-bit, with the average speed about 20% slower. It is far too early to reach any conclusions in this area, but there is a lot of driver optimization to be done to make up this kind of Delta. With the CPU and memory providing faster 64-bit performance, we have to believe the drivers play a big part in this disappointing gaming performance.









Pathetic
 
Iam an intel fan... lol but

I have to defend that both the OS, and the drivers are Beta... so... im sure that that will be fixed in the future
 
Considering this is like an alpha release build along with buggy release drivers I like what i'm seeing. That said I won't buy a 64 bit chip right now, give it a year or so, imo.
 
With 3D Mark my score dropped from 21500 in XP32 to 15000 in XP64 using a 9800XT. But that's using drivers supplied in the Op system by Microsoft so no real suprise there. Once we get optimized released drivers from ATI, that will certainly change.
 
I was impressed with the media encoding performance. They got a 15.5% increase from 32bit unoptomized. I'd say that's pretty good. Maybe the A64 will take a chunk out of the P4 lead in that department.
 
its probably nvidia's drivers not being optimized. However the 15% increase in divx encoding looks very promising:)
 
Yea, and thats a 32-bit app with no optimizations.

As for the gaming, well any reasonable person wouldn't come to any conclusions yet. Beta generic MS drivers, with a Beta OS.
