Nvidia 5600
Until NVIDIA has made all of the driver changes they need to in order to
take adavantage of the graphic performace and image quality improvements that are now available in VISTA and supportw the 5xxx series cards as well as the 6xxx, 7xxx and 8xxx generation of cards with these improvements and with full functinality that was available in the RTM drivers some of us may have to suffer from a lower performace rating with drivers that meet all of our functinal requirements.

thanks mike for your fast reply,
i guess you are also waitting for Nvidia to release better drivers! atleast you have a better rating than i did (my rating was 2.2 graphics and 2.0 overall on both vista and nvidia drivers)so i just un-installed vista and loaded win xp 64-bit and everything works/runs fine. might do a dual-boot if i cant be bothered to learn how,lol. its a shame that microsoft bring out a new operating system and its not ready to be used because of driver issues,its not like it was five years in the making or anything,lol. well,good luck to you and thanks again for responce. |
