Performance Manager and ATI 1300
I had previously installed RC1, no problems and Vista gave my overall system
performance, based on the lowest component, my ATI 1300 512 mb, a 4. ok no problem here. I can live with that. I tinker with my system later, reformat a hard drive and do a fresh install of RC2 with the windows driver. Now it rates it a 3.8?! hmm.. Go to ATI and download the latest Vista driver, the same one I used for the RC1 install. ATI 1300 still remains a 3.8. So why (how?) did my performance take a 10% hit between RC1 and RC2? Hate to think of what will happen when the gold release comes out... 3.5?! -- To err is human, to forgive Microsoft is devine.

There isn't a line in the code that read: "If Video_CARD = ATI 1300 then set GRAPHICS = 4.0" in RC1 that got changed to 3.8 in the RC2 code. The system performs a benchmark. The result returned by the benchmark has obviously changed, which isn't that unexpected when you consider that things still change during the RC phase.

I have the same card ATI 1300. With Vista RC1 performance mark was 4.0. I just
installed RC2 (clean install) and performance did not change, still 4.0 "johncon" wrote: I had previously installed RC1, no problems and Vista gave my overall system performance, based on the lowest component, my ATI 1300 512 mb, a 4. ok no problem here.

I think Robert is right. My system scored 4.8 one time, then 5 with a newer
version. Probably MS do some adjustment with their benchmark algorithm.
