Mark Schieldrop Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Just downloaded. I'm in the process of running some tests to see how they perform. I'm also interested in reading about other's experience with these new drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerAusgewanderte Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 silly question. I have a gforce fx5200. It is not listed as supported. does this mean I should toss that card sooner than later? It works fine with the vista drivers at the moment on the other hand.

Malisk Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Nothing for the 6600s then... damn. Could be some undocumented changes though... :) I find it funny the changelog didn't have for example "Added 8000GTS 320 MB support" like the release highlights. But I expect most limitations are still in though... :( I checked that section ("Open Issues") in the PDF and that one still looks a bit sad...

NVIDIA's current top priority is 8 series, and some 7 and 6 series in their free time lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyphrax Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 lol, will they call each new version a beta version?

Mannlich Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 These drivers are equally as disappointing as the previous releases. My NV Control panel doesn't even remember any of my settings upon restart. I have to go in and manually adjust all the gamma and brightness settings again. And still, no Digital Vibrance available to 8800 users. What is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted February 14, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yeah, I wish they'd at least remember the damn display settings until the full display calibration app is put in. I like not going blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chavo Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I fried my 6600GT the other day and had to throw in an old GeForce 4 ti4200 I still had. It's working great under Vista. I tried the included drivers and updated to the latest official release and everything is nice and smooth. Of course there's no Aero and the games I can play on this card are limited, but the ones I have tried run nicely. I'm going to be upgrading my system when I get my tax return, hopefully they'll have this mess sorted out by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
