Kasandoro Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Okay...weird. I installed these drivers, and there is no SLI option at all for me. I have 2 7800GT's. No option in the control panel anywhere. Anyone else see anything like that?

Sheppard Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 There is no support for 6xxx and 7xxx series SLI yet, SLI support is only for 8800s.

jporter Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 These drivers are said to gain some performance. Just what is nvidia thinking releasing drivers with no sli-support for 6/7 range and not fixing more bugs. Really does my head in :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/535037-sli-vista-32-10059-driver-out-d/#findComment-588282162 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really shouldn't post that early in the morning. I completely missed in the list that 6/7 series aren't supported. Thanks!

obsolete_power Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 that's only sli performance though, single cards do not take this much a hit Well then what is the point of having SLi if it will diminish performance???

Malisk Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 All these jibby drivers makes me sad I bought a 8800GTX :( I'm not sad for also having bought a 8800, I just give it some more time... This is common with major OS updates... Well then what is the point of having SLi if it will diminish performance??? Calm down... He never even implied that was not a problem, just that it didn't affect setups across the board. Of course SLI shouldn't give performance problems -- you, him, I should know that.

freak_power Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I said that Microsoft screwed up everything. I said 6 months ago that because of the retarded new driver model ATI and NVIDIA will have a lot of problems getting their hardware working propertly. Microsoft should do recall on Vista and fix broken OS...

Microsoft should do recall on Vista and fix broken OS... No, ATI and NVIDIA should get there act together and get drivers out to support cards they make on an OS they have had for quite some time now.

+Elі Subscriber² Posted February 1, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted February 1, 2007 I still have a problem where color settings are forgotten on every reboot with all these beta drivers that have been coming out. Anyone else experiencing this problem with this build or does anyone knows of a solution or work around?

I said 6 months ago that because of the retarded new driver model ATI and NVIDIA will have a lot of problems getting their hardware working propertly. Microsoft should do recall on Vista and fix broken OS... ati and nvidia both admitted that they will need months to fix the performance problems of their vista drivers. Offcourse they need a lot of time and work to redesing their entire driver for vista. That has nothing to do with the OS, they had the same problems with xp, it's normal. Software isn't written in one day, certainly not drivers Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/535037-sli-vista-32-10059-driver-out-d/#findComment-588283203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
