Too bad there isn't any SLI support... for those who have 7950GX2.... I feel your pain.

Too bad it works like crap for my leadtek 8800 gtx on vista. Nothing like spending $600 on a card for ****ty driver support.

Tomorrow there should be a new driver out:

# DirectX 9 and OpenGL NVIDIA SLI support for GeForce 8800 GPUs will be available on January 31, 2007 in a new driver from NVIDIA

are these identical to the 100.54 set that was leaked a few days ago?

#7.1 RanCorX2 on 30 Jan 2007 - 19:12

that is correct, the only difference is they are now official.

#8 Phixion on 30 Jan 2007 - 20:13

You really need to calm down with the LIES part.

They're saying they're the first beta drivers because the others were never actually officially released, which you even noted. They're not lying about anything actually.

Still no automatic fan speed control on my eVGA 7900 GT.

Always run at 100% speed, so it's very louder.

So anyone test this out, any increase in game performace?? and by how much?

#12.1 +Kushan on 31 Jan 2007 - 14:21

I got no increase with CSS from the early December drivers.

#13 j0j081 on 01 Feb 2007 - 11:59
