No SLI yet. Control Panel is still lacking in options.

I'm getting terrible performance with all drivers. I hear these reports of decent game play but I am not seeing it. The built in RC2 drivers worked for me fairly well, aero etc. but terrible game frames, and these new ones are almost the same. Is there something to do to increase game performance? I mean my specs aren't bad, I just want "near" xp related performance that I hear about.

Seeing how NVidia are stuggling with drivers for Vista, makes me think... Do I want to buy an NVidia DX10 Part when it's released?

It should make you think...do you want really to update to Vista. I think Vista will suck big time...there is gonna be a big problems with SLI under Vista...

Maybe. But there is just enough features to make me actually want to use Vista over XP.

I just hope NVidia are competent enough to write decent drivers.

Blergh, I can't use my monitor's native resolution of 1440 x 900, just like the driver shipped with RC2.

I can't believe Microsoft is RTM'ing this thing in 10 days! Vista itself is fine, but with all those driver issues, makes you think they are really rushing this product due to pressure. It feels like we're in Beta 2 stage. Scary...

PharosBR, it's not Microsoft's fault that IHVs can't write good code. It's not like the product isn't there to test against. I mean cmon ... "Hey, we have just finished our RC2 drivers! Lets see if it flickers.. yep! Ok, ship it!"

Uh huh.

Strangely I think these are just being churned out through the WHQL process and not actually live-tested.

Same here..... :( was very excited when I see the news.. I'm downloading now but the hype is all gone bah

Find it weird though cause I don't see any stuttering in CoH and I can use 1600x1200 resolution for my desktop.. just wondering whether mine will go worse if I install this.. well worth a try anyway

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
