I have win 8 release preview on my laptop and thief 2 installs fine but the fps is low.Haven't tried Thief 1 yet.What's the fps at you?

I'm currently running Core 2 Quad QX9300 Extreme running at 3 Ghz and a ATI 5870m, so it should run really well, but of course it doesn't. runs perfectly on Win 7, I was getting FPS that fluctuated between 20-60 fps.
This could be an ATI issue though, as their drivers are crap.

Without fog?

hmmmm, maybe I need to set the global fog setting in DDFix?

I'm going to give Windows 8 a pass. Sorry, I like having a proper desktop.

Does it install easily/normally on Windows 8? What about T3?
Sorry. I'm just about ready to get a new computer myself. My desktop bit the dust back in October and I've JUST gotten the rest of the money I need to get a new machine. Now I have the oh-so-fun (NOT!) task of FINDING a machine to fit in my budget and still run what I need it to run. (Namely, Thief, Sims3 and Guild Wars 2 - whatever the specs are on that - if it can handle those three, it can probably handle most anything else I'm going to throw at it. Maybe a bit of Champions Online, or Lord of the Rings online to keep my friend happy. He's been bugging me to try them for a while now.)
I'm leaning towards a laptop. . .I've sort of gotten used to being able to move around, with this old laptop for the past year. Though I do like the 'flexibility' of desktops better. They do *NOT* seem to be cheap for what I need. And with windows 8 coming out at the end of October, I'm seriously wondering if I shouldn't just wait and go with that. (Not that I like the looks of Windows 8 much - for a laptop or desktop - but one must be prepared to move forward, like it or not - and it seems silly to go with windows 7 when the new one is so close!)
Argh. I hate choosing new tech. Its so confusing!
So, yeah. . .T3 on Windows 8?
Thanks. Nice to be able to read some stuff here BEFORE I put money down and find out the hard way. :P
