Gforce cards + VIA pt880 ultra
There is a problem with the pt880 ultra and Gforce cards. The basic driver
with vista kind of works...well it is stable but slow. The 97.46 driver also has problems. Every driver after that have masive video corruption and there are alot of us with the identical problem and different types of cards and mobo's. With or without the VIA 4 in 1 doesn't affect the issue. e6600 2gb ram 667 7800gs asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA VIA pt880 ultra I ran a memory tester for 12 hours without 1 error. I did a CPU test for 12 hours with no errors. Temps at 19C When Aero gets disabled in Vista the screen gets corrupt with horizontal multicolored lines and black lines and bars(looks like over heat, but driver dependent). Also all the application windows gets lots of artifacts and stop refreshing, so I can paint with windows effects and I get very poor performance. In fact I have installed every driver and each new one is slower. This only happens when Aero is disabled. Like during Windows startup, shutdown, opening Windows Taskmanager, using any software that disables Aero... There are threads going on about this on Nvidias forums and VIA please read up on it to get the details.
