You get the same on x86 version , this is why my bf2 game run slower

The x64 drivers (96.33) DO NOT WORK with RC2.

You will lose all hardware acceleration.
Videos will not play, 3d games don't work, and Vista even reverts to
non-Aero windows (non transparent, no Flip-3d etc).

x64 users will have to wait for updated RC2 drivers (I did not test
x86/32bit).

if u use the MS native 1's does it run better ???

This is strange, When I installed 96.33, The aero theme was working fine, I
just noticed it did not so re installed the microsoft supplied one and now
have aero again.
Very weird.

drivers.

Nvidia have patently stated that they know their drivers only allow basic
funcitionality and have no intention of doing anything about it until a month
or two after the full public release of Vista. That is to say, they don't
give a damn until you have to pay for Vista and then they'll look into
drivers and software that will once again allow you to use the full spectrum
of your Nvidia card as you could in XP. ATI, on the other hand, are working
hand in hand with MS and are releasing improvements almost daily. So out with
Nvidia and back to my ATI. I hate companies that boast about policy, that
focuses on the consumer, and their satisfaction, only to display arrogance,
and ignore those who have spent their hard earned money on a high end Nividia
graphics card. Nvidia is way behind the curve on this one and are getting
very bad publicity because of it. I for one have voiced my opinion about
Nvidia's lack of caring on several Vista sites. TTFN

Well, I really enjoy IL2FB, and the game uses OpenGL for best effects: only
NVIDIA chips really show great graphics in that specific game. So I decided
to adopt NVIDIA, and dropped ATI... And the NVIDIA guys are good, because
the Beta Forceware worked great on RC1, better performance than on XP.

I don't know, but I guess writing drivers for Vista must be a pretty awsome
task, or they already would be releasing new versions on every build. I used
to be an commercial app developer, and I sympathize with those people...
Long nights... They fix one thing, another thing breaks, they do all tests
and there's always a nasty bug that only happens in someone's PC...

I am really enjoying the Vista experience so far. I remember long nights
"finding" an early build just to install it, say "ahh", "ohh" and "damn"
rather quickly... :^)

Meanwhile I keep on "forgottenbattling" in my XP Pro partition... :^)

If you have any questions about nVidia and their Stance on Vista...just go
to their "Windows News Page"
http://www.nvidia.com/page/technolog...community.html
They have an "Ask nVidia a question" feature and say they will answer a
question a week.

The problem is they stil have the 4 softball questions that were up there
before the Beta2 CPP launch.
If you think there are not more questions due to lack of interest..I have
asked several questions, and never receieved a responce, not seen the any
new questions answered.

Well they responded to me and you can see their response in my previous post.
I had an ATI and switched to Nvidia and now I guess it's time to switch back.
Such a shame they don't think customers are all that important. But then who
buys their stuff? Not me anymore. As for graphics and games, ya the basics
seem to work fine but I like tuning my graphics and Nvidia in Vista can't be
tuned at all. Heck you even have to "Force" second display recognition and
then that messes things up big time. You have to constantly go back into the
control panel and set up the primary display default option. Oh well, money
is king and when Nividia gets a black eye and a hit in the pocket book then
they'll sing a different tune. For now ATI has been working hand in hand with
the Vista people(so I've read) and so I think I'll swing some hard earned
bucks their way. TTFN.

As a software developer, I can see their point as evidenced by the fact that compatibility changes
with every release. At least they (NVidia) provide beta drivers, but it is very difficult to
support an operating system that the maker does not even support yet. I think that getting upset
about the fact that NVidia does not have drivers released for an OS which was released last week
(in beta) is ridiculous.

I certainly cannot guarantee that my software works under the release of Vista because it (the
release version of Vista) doesn't exist yet.
