Are there NV drivers for Windows 7?

[SickBeast]

I'm wondering what driver to use for Windows 7, 64-bit.

If any of you have experience with an NV card in Windows 7 and gaming, please LMK. I'm trying to write a review on Windows 7 comparing it to XP and Vista in terms of performance.

Thanks!

This is direct from Nvidia's web site concerning Windows 7.

NVIDIA drivers for Windows 7 Beta

NVIDIA drivers for the Windows 7 Beta release can be downloaded directly from Microsoft?s Windows Update service.

Instructions:

1. After a fresh installation of the Windows 7 Beta, click on the Start button.
2. Click Windows Update (it will be pinned to the top of the start menu). You can also type ?Windows Update? into the start menu Search to locate Windows Update.
3. Within Windows Update, locate and install the NVIDIA driver update (it will either be an important update or an optional update depending on your system).

Does this mean we cannot run F@H GPU client under W7? Cause that's a deal breaker for me...

Don't think F@H needs PhysX, just CUDA. Not sure though if CUDA is installed with the drivers, or whether the F@H client has a custom DLL for it or something. I wouldn't be able to answer that for you.

I just installed the FAH GPU client under Windows 7 for my 8800GTS 320mb. It works perfectly. I'm using the Windows Update driver.

I hope this helps.

Oh, and RivaTuner works as well and you can overclock using these drivers.

You should get 7, it's real good.
