Hi,

Well I have been invited by Microsoft to download and test Vista Beta 1, but I am a bit worried, I use my computer for MS Office, World of Warcraft ... etc. So will all this program still be compatible if i install windows vista beta 1?

I imagine that the answer is yes , but I just want to be 100% sure, before I make a fool of myself .. :wacko:

Thanks for the response !

Looking at the driver support list for the x86 version, Vista does support GeForce 6000 series cards. Many of them. If you want, Ill post the list of the nVidia cards supported that MS provided (6000 series cards). Also, I have a 6800 card, and I am doing just fine. Your card must be broken.

Oh, and if you have the x64 Version installed, there is a list for them too. As well as a new driver out from nVidia that should work just fine for you.

How on earth did you get invited?

None of your business I shouldn't think!! It isn't our place to question how/if people got invited.

Musicroom: The whole idea of the Beta is to find out what is and isn't compatible. if you have a spare drive install Vista on that. It is never really recommended to use a Beta OS as you main OS, unless you find it very stable and compatible with existing applications.

Few questions for everyone who has it installed. Interested in knowing the following:

1) Has anyone tried recent games (Half Life 2, Doom III Battlefield 2) and if so do they run fine?

2) Has anyone been able to get DLink Wireless cards working with it?

3) Are you using it as your primary OS, why or why not

"Install Supplemental Drivers"

Didnt it start on the first boot ? ;)

D:\Windows\System32\DPUpdate.exe -findSource

Run it... It should install the marvell drivers.

I successfully installed Vista on my Silicon Image Raid 0 setup with no problems. It will not let you load the driver from Windows Setup but if you boot from the disk you can load a third party driver from floppy or CD/DVD.

    • Nvidia outs hotfix driver for BSOD, wake from sleep, G-SYNC, Smooth Motion, NV-Failsafe

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Nvidia outs hotfix driver for BSOD, wake from sleep, G-SYNC, Smooth Motion, NV-Failsafe by Sayan Sen Nvidia today rolled out a new hotfix driver in order to fix various issues related to monitors and displays. The company notes G-SYNC-related frame pacing troubles should now be resolved on Ada Lovelace GPUs, ie, RTX 4000 series graphics cards. For anyone not familiar, G-SYNC is Nvidia's in-house proprietary adaptive synchronization tech that syncs the GPU's framerate output with the monitor's refresh rate in order to match them and eliminate screen tearing. On the topic of synchronization, Nvidia claims improved stability when gaming with Vsync or vertical sync on multi-monitor displays. The company also finally fixes a bug wherein displays would fail to wake up from sleep mode. Another bug has been resolved when certain monitors were identified as "NV-Failsafe" since the EDID information was incorrectly read by the GPU. EDID or Extended Display Identification Data of a monitor essentially contains the necessary metadata that lets a GPU understand the features and capabilities of a connected monitor. Ghosting and jittering problems as well as game crashes during the use of the Smooth Motion functionality have also been fixed with this release. Nvidia Smooth Motion feature is a driver-based AI model that delivers a seemingly "smoother" gameplay experience by inferring an additional frame between two rendered frames. Here is the full changelog for the new GeForce hotfix driver 610.52: [Ada] Resolves a frame pacing issue on certain monitors when G-SYNC is enabled Resolved an issue that prevented the EDID from being read on certain monitors causing them to be identified as "NVIDIA NV-Failsafe” Improved gaming stability in multi-monitor configurations when using V-SYNC with DLSS Frame Generation Resolved an issue where certain monitors would not wake from sleep mode [World of Warcraft] Gaming stability improvements Resolved an issue that could cause jittering or ghosting in some DirectX 11 games when Smooth Motion is enabled Resolved an issue that could cause some games to crash when launched with Smooth Motion enabled General stability improvements when the system fails to create a new allocation Others in the feedback thread also point out that the hotfix patches a blue screen of death (BSOD) issue. You can provide your own feedback there too after downloading the new 610.52 driver from Nvidia's official website at this link. Keep in mind that this hotfix is not essential to install unless you are having any or all of these issues. As such you can stay on the latest available GameReady driver version 610.47.

      Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.

      Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
