Thanks for telling me.

I just read.. http://www.hardocp.com/news.html?news=M … V3cywsLDE=

No doubt NVIDIA’s lack of Vista drivers for their hardware has been a heated topic since the launch of the 8800 series. Well we have a lot of good news tonight direct from the mouths at NVIDIA. NVIDIA has released their “NVIDIA Windows Vista Driver version 100.54” tonight to developers, testers, and reviewers under an information embargo. So obviously it will likely be found online any minute for your download. Some things to note though.

    This driver is intended for testing on GeForce 8800 GTX/GTS series GPUs. This driver is intended for DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 application testing in single GPU only. It is not recommended for NVIDIA SLI testing. 3D performance of this driver is improved over Release 95 Vista drivers, and is on par with Windows XP for the top applications, with the exception of OpenGL applications. This driver can also be used with GeForce 7 and GeForce 6 series GPUs, though performance can be slower on some applications because we still have work to do on our drivers.

    Our goal is to get Vista performance equivalent to XP performance wherever possible, and we will do this through continuous driver updates.

Let me know how it runs. I may have to move Vista back on to this Machine .

Runs ok.

One thing that proved quite annoying was the fact that the video card won't wake up when it comes out of sleep mode, leading to lots of crashing and BSODs.

I've been making sure not to let the computer sleep, so everythings fine.
