any newz?
Not really... I haven't really had time to work on it since the Fourth of July holiday, benpbrown.com is going down, and I don't really want to throw a half-assed pre-alpha up on DA, so it's going back into hiding for a while. I found out what I needed to know from the simple little preview version - that I'm going to need to do a lot more work to get everything right for everyone, and ATM I don't really have time to do much more with it. nVidia drivers still run my GPU fan at 100%, so I still can't use Vista as my primary OS, anyways.

Slightly off topic, but if you install nVidia's nTune app on vista, you can control the fan speed. BTW, if you need hosting, I might beable to provide something ;)

Yeah the vista's nvidia drivers no longer have temp sensing, Overclocking ect.. you have to download nTune, that might work to control your fan speeds.

Success! The last version of nTune I tried didn't have that option exposed/visible for me, but the version that I downloaded yesterday along with the new dets did :D

Now time will tell if it keeps it from melting down, or just statically sets my fan to a percentage and leaves it there...

Seriously, I'm DYING to download this. I've been using the XP Tango Patcher for a while now, and I'm literally not going to upgrade to Vista until I get the Vista-compatible one. Haha.

Does anybody have the file they can upload and link until vertigosity returns?

Why not? I've heard same bad things about Creative's Vista drivers lately; apparently, they're lazier about proper Vista support than... well, me.

:laugh:

haha the x-fi is a little shaky on vista too...especially the crackling/hissing/angry sounds when i have cool & quiet enabled (due to a long known nForce4 conflict that creative wont fix) but at least its better than onboard.

i'll let you know if the shell patcher solves any problems lol

      NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.

      TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.

      Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/

      One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.

      I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
