Nice. Though I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever see advanced display timing controls for Vista.

Has Nvidia forgotten about Xp drivers? Seems like all they make is Vista drivers now.

One could guess so, with the last really good driver for XP being 92.91 from six months back. Vista is everything to the press and there's only so many driver programmers at hand.

Performance seems better, but I got a CTD in Oblivion after about an hour of playing. Granted, I did have everything cranked. I'll try some other games, and Oblivion again later to see how things are working.

okay did this enable duel GPU support for the 7950Gx2? I am at work so I can't test them. I hate working saturdays.

I also crashed after close to an hour of FEAR. Just for giggles I flipped over to my XP partition and loaded up Oblivion. Been playing for well over two hours. I'm guessing I either have to spend less time playing games or hang on for a bit more. Tis a shame, really.

I'll load these sometime soon and give some impressions for lower end people. I'm not home right now though.

Actually, the latest official ForceWare driver (93.71) for XP came at the beginning of November ‘06 (almost five months ago). But the hell with them, my primary system uses ATI anyway. Nvidia is probably trying to avoid G80 lawsuits and to kiss the press ass due to the horrible performance in Vista. Maybe someone should remind them that the majority uses XP, and not Vista.

Well, Nvidia build at the road

Evertime the performance gets better on this machine with every new release, so I'm sure Nvidia is gonna bring more nice driversets in the future
