Vista Forceware 97.27 out


Recommended Posts

Think i'll stick with the 97.19's for now until something official comes out of nVidia.. Aero runs good with them and i'm not playing any games atm.. my card is a Leadtek 6600GT if its of any use!

Performance is still crap compared to XP. They need to sort it out - Vista has been in beta for ages now for gods sake...

weird, my vista install with every single thing I use in XP is flying for me. I'd say 2x's faster at least. Of course i'm using more RAM, but that's why it's in there to begin with :D

These drivers wont install for me, the install goes fine, I restart, but still says 97.19 and I dont see any control panel. Are we not suppose to use the setup.exe to install?

if I try to install using have disk, it says the drivers are not made for vista.

edit: does anyone have the inf mod for x64?

Yeah inf mod for x64 would be nice, I just get no supported HW foudn during setup... I even tried with the regular inf mod posted here.

Careful, you'll get mauled by the people on this forum who think it's perfectly acceptable to wait until release day to have any driver at all out.

WOW...This ones are goood!!! :alien:

I have a Gf 6600 standard and NFSC runs smoooth with these drivers...

Aero, everything ok!

I extracted the Vista 92.27, used the file supplied by Jony_78 (thankss man!!). ran Setup...and voila!! :yes:

Now im happy! :laugh:

Oh BTW...For the ppl cant play NFSC, try to rename the folder MOVIES to MOVIEZ...NFSC crashes mainly because of video...this will bypass the videos in game...oh well better than nothing...

This driver improved my framerate, but only slightly. I couldn't even pass the Video Stress Test in Counter Strike! (Got 29fps, aiming for 60). I know that's not a very good test, but many can get 60. :no: In game, I get 39fps, which is significantly better than the 97.17 driver on my 7800GT, where I got ~17fps. :pinch:

I guess it'll be a while before we see optimised drivers, huh?

The control panel is still junk - i don't understand what's the point in including a control panel that has no options in it?

And still no 1680x1050 resolution, which is plain amazing. A 2007 OS that has absolutely no support for a VGA-connected 20 widescreen monitor?

Oh, and i almost forgot to tell that Nvidias urge to start flashing (on/off) the monitors everytime i right click the desktop (or touch anything nvidia control panel related) is included in their Vista drivers as well. Very cool.

1680x1050 has worked for me atleast since Beta 2 with all the nvidia drivers.

Damn !

what about the Resolution problem!

i run Vista x64 !

there are many ppl there have problems with the resolution!

me myself i have problem to! i normally use the 1440x900 resolution!

but i can not get it to work !

are there a way to MOD the FILES ! s? den 1440x900 Resolution can get to work ?

I have never got it in any vista drivers.

I think it only works if you are on DVI. Since it's my secondary screen i have to use VGA (graphic card only have one dvi). I have even installed the driver for the screen, and it's still not 1680x1050. The generic drivers in XP used to have 1680x1050 (if you selected a driver higher than 1600x1200)

i installed these drivers but the res only goes up to 1280x960:((

and my monitor supports up to 1280x1024.

works fine with defualt vista drivers

same here ! with the default nvidia drivers there are no problems!

After i have installed this driver here !

my resolution is ****'T:((

i hope there comes a fix for that !

What is your GPU model?

hey i popped these on hoping they would fix dx stuff with my 6800gt but no luck..

the 3d preview in control panel is all black (shows the logo spinning but no textures etc) and anything that uses directx so far seems to crash :(

yet aero/glass works flawlessly..

tried a bunch of driver versions no luck so far.. any ideas?

Hello everybody :)

I was wondering if anyone who is using the new driver can elaborate on whether or not and which TV-out features has been included in the control panel in this driver release.

Most importantly, does it support "Theater Mode" (in which you can play a video file on your TV and keep working in Windows on your monitor) ?

A screenshot of the control panel TV-out options would also help :)

Thanks in advance!

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
