I have a Q9550 Quad, and dual Sapphire 4850 Toxic running in CrossfireX.
A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

You cannot compare Vantage with 06 at all.
Just use 06 for global comparision.

Vista doesn't run DX9 as good as XP I guess.
That doesn't count. And that needs to be 100% fact, not guessing.
I guess Win98 runs dx6 better?
When people say "I guess" they mean "I've heard" or something like that. I'm not talking about lottery numbers here I would assume that my terrible score in 3D06 would be enough proof of this. After a little bit of reading it looks like the drivers are the biggest culprit. I guess that makes a lot of sense. DX9 and 10 are completely different and there really is no way to optimize for both. Even on a hardware level this would be a problem. Otherwise why can't everyone run DX10?
Don't make me install XP just to prove it
OH, and I'm pretty sure your right about DX6 running better in Win98. And since we're in the RF forum here, I can definitely remember a point at which I upgraded my computer and lost performance. Probably about the time that DX9 came out
