Windows Xp 64 vs 32 gaming comparison
« on: May 04, 2005, 05:50:58 PM »
http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NzY1LDU= << there is less than a fraction of a percent performance difference between the two OSes ... and most of the time the 32 bit OS is leading by that fraction ! So according to these results it seems that  64 bit processors do not make it imperative for gamers to upgrade at the moment  , especially those who have powerful 32 bit machines ( like myself) . 
   Even programs that supposedly are optimized for 64 bit code like The chronicles of Riddick, run several FPS slower !
 http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NzY1LDEw       
   Whats horrible is that windows 64 introduces compatability issues into games that run flawlessly on the 32 bit OS!
    I would lay the blame for all of this on the heads of those who develop the software we use , until games are compiled from the ground up for 64 bit processors , and microsoft stops screwing around , there is no reason to go to windows 64 , in fact, for gaming purposes at least, it is better to stay with 32 bit windows !!

What we found isn’t too shocking really, but rather reassuring. In all the 32-bit games tested, we saw overall static performance using Windows XP Pro x64 Edition. The only game in our lineup that had a specific Win64 AMD64 instruction path, The Chronicles of Riddick, actually performed worse in 64-bit than it did in 32-bit Windows.

True, however I think 64-bit goodness is more for the business class and server market at current. 64-bit linux has been out for quite some time now and well needless to say linux is also not the best choice when it comes to gaming. Servers esp have lots to gain from the additional memory allocation ability and I read an article that claimed network performance increased significantly. As far as gaming is concerned we cannot expect to see much benefit as yet... however give it a year and I am sure all the new games will take full advantage of this tech, not to mention turbo cache type cards will benefit from a system with tonnes more memory.
