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 like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
