Vista Forceware 97.27 out


Recommended Posts

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.

lol, I fully expect nVidia to come out with the G90 on Jan 30 and declare the G80 to be "legacy hardware" and that Vista driver "support" for the G80 ended on Jan 29.

witht he 64 bit inf this driver works great, faster than the old "official" driver I used on RC2, and I'm not sure if it's the rienstall or the driver but the problem I had in EQ2 after the latest update where the graphics woudl Freeze doesn't seem to occur anymore.

I'm happy :)

I don't know what everyone on here is complaining about 1440x 900. I have a inspiron 9300 with a 6800 go and these drivers work fine in 1440 x 900 for me. Also just to give u guys a heads up laptopvideo2go has their inf out if any of you need it.

It works for you cause its a laptop.

With DVI cable and LCD it doesnt work yet. With standard VGA it does... but that sucks :/

I can't even get them to install...replaced with modified INF (I had to add both inf files posted here nvbl and lh_nv to even get it to recognise my hardware)...says drivers are not compatible with Vista...WTF???

Ive tried both EXE (which doesnt install them either) and browsing, thats when i get the error...

I have a laptop with 7900 GTX Go....

I got lucky after modifying all inf files + modes.txt in the driver package. Open them up in notepad, and do a search and replace. Just replace one you never use, with the one you like. In my case, i replaced 1600x1200 with 1680x1050. I did this in all inf/ini files (i think there were 3 files). I don't think you need to do it in modes.txt, but it won't hurt.

After installing and restarting i finally got 1680x1050! But after the next restart it was suddenly gone again! :wacko: It was appearantly replaced with 1600x1000 - which is really odd. But i solved that by installing the driver for my monitor, so now i'm back in business again, and have been for some days :D

PS: Only installing the driver won't work. You need to modify the driver files first as well.

Since everyone stated that the problem with the 1440x900 Resolution was related to using a DVI cable vs. an Analog VGA cable, i decided to switch and use the VGA cable provided with the monitor. Now I can use 96.85 and use 1440x900. However I am not able to use 97.19 (or is it 97.18?) nor 97.27 with this resolution even though I'm using a VGA Cable. is there any way to modify the drivers so I can use them with 1440x900.

Plus everyone who says just install your monitor driver, some companys don't provide them. I have a westinghouse and they have no drivers for their monitors as windows provides it.

Just for all of you that think 1440x900 does not work... it does but you need to deselect the "Hide modes this monitor can't display from the advanced button in the classic XP control panel... it's in vista too.

crap it dosent support ! 1440x900 !

but are there someone there know how long nvidia has come with a final driver for Vista ?

Just for all of you that think 1440x900 does not work... it does but you need to deselect the "Hide modes this monitor can't display from the advanced button in the classic XP control panel... it's in vista too.

This doesn't work.... tried it before.

First post here.

no 1440x900. No matters what. recent drivers dont enable that res. i tried several monitor drivers and no go. But what really bother me is that I do have 1440x900 using the old 96.33. So, what is the big diference betwen 96.33 and later drivers 97.27? 96.33 has a really bad performance for me, even at desktop, and going to fullscreen gives me BSOD. One other hand 97.27 has a really nice performance, has some control panel, but no 1440x900.

Im not into drivers writing thing, so maybe someone may take a look into this discrepancy.

Well felows thats it. Im still waiting and searching the net for a driver that enable 1440x900, have some control panel. Cmon i just bought this fancy, and very expensive (im at brazil) widescreen monitor (check my sig).

Thanks in advance

Sorry my bad english.

@guys compaining about 1440x900:

Did you try what i wrote in the post righ above here?

As mentioned, i had no 1680x1050 (VGA) what so ever in Vista before, but i found the solution for the problem. Don't see any reason why it shouldn't work for 1440x900.

And you could always use Powerstrip to fix it, although i don't like that solution too well.

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
