This space is for people (the user community) testing the compatibility and/or the performance of current Valve games as well as the Steam platform, on the next generation Windows.
Purpose
The idea is to help Valve optimize their games for the next consumer platform by giving them performance samples similar to what they gathered with their stress tests.
Current Vista
Beta 2 Build 5384.4

No data
No data available yet.
Just a text to fit the whole layout together :), normally this will set automatically by putting text in the capsuleboxes. Normally I work @ 1024/768 where the column will fit perfectly to each other.. Now @ college I work @ 1280/1024, what fucks up the layout.. When adding data in here, please remove these sentences.. :)

Average FPS
- 45.33 FPS (1280x1024) On CS: Source Stress Test
- Couldn't measure accurately in Half-Life 2 due to random glitches.
Comments
- The CS: Source stress test ran without issue during my test. In-game it ran ok with minor hitching here and there. Problem is, I didn't playtest it long enough.
- Half-Life 2 was where I started to try playing for long periods of time. After a period of about 20 minutes of playing, the game completely froze for over 30 seconds and when control returned to me all sounds have disappeared. The only way to fix this was to restart the game.
- Textures and world geometry also completely disappared on me. Antlions would only appear as shadows on the ground.
- The game ultimately hardlocked my computer prompting me to use the reset button on my machine. This happened multiple times seemingly randomly. Vista is using an early version of DirectX 10, and there seems to be a number of issues for games using DirectX 9 (and possibly earlier).

Required
- Adding publisher details to steam client/game executables. Will help in publisher verification at Vista security checks.
- Using CTRL-SHIFT-F9 to turn off Desktop Composition will be extremely helpful.
