Some early Windows Vista gaming benchmarks show that as expected drivers arent really very mature yet for the OS. Roughly 5-15% slower than XP for now. If that isnt enough here are a few more.

There are some ATI/AMD graphics card tests here: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/windows_vista_performance_amd_catalyst_7.1/

Summary: ATI/AMD cards perform roughly as good in Vista as in XP.

  Well that's very encouraging and flies in the face of pretty much every gaming web site that has discussed Vista for gaming! I guess time will tell...XP was garbage for games at first also if I remember correctly...or maybe I don't..maybe it was Windows 3.11 I am thinking of.
