RaisinCain, I salute you for posting this! Thank you!!!

[Mannlich]

any word on SLI?

[Jabo4]

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.

WTF :angry: it still sucks in CoH. This is complete bull. Nvidia is horrible at making drivers that ****ing work :angry:

[Richmc]

I see no improvment over the ones that came with RC2 in x64

Awww...man, I was happy to see this post, but now I am dreading it, because it doesn't appear any better? :\

[ObiWanToby]

Company of Heros is too freaking flickery...anyone know how to fix this?

[jporter]

thanks for the post I'll try them in a minute :)

Btw, I wish they did bring out some new NFORCE drivers. :)

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.

[Pharos]

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...

[RGSPro]

The only problems I am having with vista are driver related. Either they are really hard to make, or nVidia and ATi dont want to spend too much time making drivers for "pre" versions of Vista instead of the final release.

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.

[deadcantdance]

This is the first driver since Vista Beta that has no performance problems with Aero on my laptop.

Thanks a lot, now I've been able say goodbye to XP!

[Blaine]

Sigh after hearing these comments I'm not very excited about this :/

[Krome]

Hmmm... I was so excited to dl ... now after many bad comments, I'll just hold my horse

[:: Lyon ::]

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

what video card do you have?

Well I do have some weird artifacts once a while (when I play Medieval 2 demo and Sims 2) but it's usually gone if I move the screen around and let it redraw
