Every so often, my system will seize up. 30 seconds will pass, then everything is better. I wonder what driver is causing this - I suspect my geforce 8800 gtxs. The .64 driver didn't fix my SLI problems. *sighs* Given the small changes and the glacial amount of time it took for it to come out, I don't expect much relief in the future.

32-bit fixes:

• NVIDIA Control panel “Change Flat Panel Scaling” page does not work correctly.
• GeForce 8800 GTS: Quake4–performance drops and the game occasionally crashes when symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) is enabled.
• GeForce 8800 GTX, GeForce 7900: Dark Age of Camelot and Command and Conquer: Zero Hour–shadows are green.
• GeForce 7800 GTX, GeForce 8 Series: When playing the game Prey at 1900x1200 with 4x antialiasing enabled, performance drops after saving the game.
• GeForce 7300 GT, GeForce 7600GS: Screen flicker occurs when clicking ʺChange Flat panel scalingʺ in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

This seems like a proper place to ask, so is anyone else getting really really bad artifacts in CSS with an nVidia card?

Looks like 64 bit support is still back burner material too. I'll be putting Vista x64 on a X2 4400 / 7800GTX and Core 2 6700/8800GTX before the weekend is out......... was hoping for some cert. drivers ...

Cruise over to the Logitech site and look at their lack of drivers also. Folks with their fancy 250 dollar wheel are just now getting answers. Mods replied to questions here and there as long as it as nothing to do with Vista drivers. On the 12th they finally posted info for their gaming software.

And my 'Vista Essential' 7950GX2 retains the Vista logo on the box, but no proper drivers either in or out of the box.

How long for SLI, Nvidia!?

Good thing I've got XP still installed.

Sounds like another RushWare (TM) to me. Would be a miracle if no one found some big ticket bug/issue/crash/bad-thing this time around.

I'm guessing there are no speed increases, but I'm not sure if they would document such a thing.
