These are not beta drivers

#1.2 moua on 21 Feb 2007 - 02:27

What a shame to not provide laptop (maybe 40% of market) drivers.

These are not beta drivers

These are because Vista is pushing me to go back to the old drivers

How the heck can beta drivers become WHQL? Does Microsoft not give a crap about quality control? Just pay us and we'll give you a WHQL. These drivers don't even come out of suspend on an 8800! What a joke.

#3.1 g0wg on 21 Feb 2007 - 03:56

If I remember correctly, the package is not just one driver (SLI drivers are different from Single-card drivers I think) so probably the single-card drivers are WHQL certified whereas the SLI drivers are still in beta (as the highlights say, only 8-series SLI is available)

It's WHQL for non-SLI; only Beta for SLI. Clear?

and 10% increase in CPU at all times...

Great way to compliment my 7600GT AGP by XFX. Mine actually has nvidia's specs instead of modified ones such as DDR2 VRAM, 512MB non turbocache, etc.

#6 Sheppard on 21 Feb 2007 - 08:02

Yes shame about all us SLI users.....

i upgraded from 100.59 (which was a few builds behind but still not too old) and opengl performance shot (specifically blender) through the roof. funny thing is, i disabled aero to see if it would go even smoother yet, and it got just as choppy as before i installed the 100.65 drivers.
