About OpenGL games not running on Vista RC1..... I take that back. I just installed the latest ATI Vista Catalyst drivers dated Jan 29, 2007. Doom 3 doesn't just runs and looks fine, it seems quicker (than in XP) as well.
Under XP at 1024x768 AA off, full-screen Timedemo Demo1, Doom 3 has never been able to break past 90fps unless shadows are off and I'd get a framerate of 91-93 fps.
Now under Vista RC1, I have shadows on and the framerate jumped up to 103 fps. Shadows off and I get 105.
Add: oh, video card is an ASUS pci-e, 256mb X800XL ViVo
I also ran into a caveat..... It seems Doom3 full-screen under Vista doesn't like dual-monitor. I have to revert back to single-monitor, set Doom 3 to windowed, quit, and then return to dual-monitor. Then when I restart Doom 3, it works fine in dual monitor via windowed mode.
