New Vista ForceWare...ever?
It's been over a month since nVidia released Vista beta drivers or final drivers, and it worries me. When games are performing up to 30% slower because of poor drivers for Vista (compared to XP), drivers should be the top priority for the GPU manufacturers.

Where the heck is nVidia with their latest drivers?

There are Vista 32 & 64 bit versions of 162.15 beta. They we're pulled not long after release though. You can download them from Station Drivers. I've been running this set for over a week with no major problems.

It does seem a bit strange they haven't released anything new for Vista recently.

Modified the 163.11 to work with my 7900GTX and it runs fine so far performancewise. Flat panel scaling resets instantly though but I don't need that right now.

I used the 163.11 drivers for 2 a 3 days, but quickly uninstalled them seeing it disabled some features in various games.

Most notably was that Ghost Recon 2 lacked any and all shadows, so now back to 158.43.
Dunno what happened to the 163.11 and disabling shadows and so on in various games ( In GRAW2 I noticed it cause I was playing it at a Lan and we were crosschecking images between 2 pc's when I noticed I had no shadow's whatsoever.)

162.22 are working great on both my desktop and laptop. Word of warning for those not on 8800 cards the 163.11 seem to have lower performance then the 162 drivers.
