Vista Not Playing Nice With FPS Games

Computerworld is reporting that gamers who have installed Vista are reporting problems with first person-shooter titles such as CounterStrike, Half-Life 2, Doom 3. and F.E.A.R. (Users have compiled lists of games with Vista issues.) The complaints, which have turned up on gamers’ forums, cite crashes and low frame rates. Not surprisingly, the problems relate to graphics hardware and software: ‘Experts blame still-flaky software drivers, Vista’s complexity, and a dearth of new video cards optimized for Vista’s new rendering technology, DirectX 10.

This is the price you pay for jumping on a new OS as soon as it comes out. You’d have to be very naive to believe that everything would work out of the box ;-)
