vista 64 bit performance is just lousy

[vochore]

<p>i am talking about being only able to run between 10 and 25 fps now,2 weeks ago when i still had xp 64 on my system with all settings to max i would average 35 to 50 fps.</p><p>and changing my graphics settings to a lower setting make no differance in fps,the only thing that changed my fps was moving the shader slider to -15,now in xp 64 i could keep my shader at atleast 50% or higher with no decline in performance.</p><p>can any 1 else who is running vista 64 tell me about any changes they made to there setting to get better performance from vista 64 and eq2.</p>

<p>yes the system specs in my sig are correct and i am using at this time 185 series drivers but will switch to 1 of the 189 drivers tonight.</p>
