Oblivion – Direct3D

Notes

The X1950 XTX saw performance increases under Vista in our outdoors testing with Oblivion, albeit the increase between 32-bit OS’s at 1280x1024 is just 3%. Considering these are manual walkthroughs, that’s probably only a percentage point or so greater than the margin of error. At 1600x1200 that margin opens up to 6% in favor of Windows Vista x86. Curiously enough, the Radeon X1950 Pro didn’t see these increases though, but the Radeon X1650 XT’s performance did improve under 32-bit Vista (64-bit performance was unchanged).
