I NEED VISTA DRIVERS FOR NVIDIA 8800GTX :!

[BFG10K]

a.) consumers buy the consumer versions when they release Jan. 30
b.) the highend graphics technology is not desired / needed / designated by the business community

Again totally and utterly irrelevant to the Vista ready claims. G80 isn't Vista ready but it was claimed it was. That is relevant.

The rest of the points are just circular rhetoric that have nothing to do with the core issue.

"Vist ready" implies the hardware meets Vista spec and DX10 API standard (SM4, WGF 2.0 compliant, etc).

So again I'll ask if nVidia never release a Vista G80 driver will you still claim the product is Vista ready? If so how can Jan 30th possibly change anything?

Now if Jan 30th does change something then the product can't possibly be Vista ready now.

So which is it Nelsieus? Does Jan 30th change the ready status of the product or not? You can't have it both ways whenever it suits your nVidia propaganda.

Not to the mention that the minimum requirements for Vista are DX9 hardware acceleration which G80 doesn't have because there is no driver.

If I put a G80 into a Vista system even a basic desktop doesn't work properly. How the hell can anyone class that as being ready for Vista?

You do not have to have a driver to activate these features,

:roll:

I'm done, this is pointless.

I'm glad you finally saw your flawed reasoning.

And I apologize for not giving what I imagine took you quite a while on that post a detailed response, but it's useless - all we're doing is repeating ourself.

That's because you haven't been getting it and must have just seen why you were wrong.

So yes, *hopefully* we shouldn't have to repeat "ourself" anymore.

Obviously you are confused with your stupidity. Jose provided 5 stores. I called the 1st store is Kenzo.com

Then he tried to correct himself with 3 more stores, which turned out to be presale license. Now are we done? Can you be really quiet now? and stop accusing people?

You launch personal insults and then have the nerve to complain about others in Forum Issues?

I totally agree and im not defending nvidia, i just hate the lame people bashing nvidia for something so trivial.

The whole reason this thread has gone on this long is the unwillingness of the staunch Nvidia-or-nothing supporters to face facts. It was a simple "Nvidia should have provided drivers" grumble that turned into yet another all-out verbal brawl because certain people couldn't stand to see Nvidia being given even the slightest chastisement for failing to live up to what was advertised on the 8800 box. No company is perfect, yet some people here would have us believe that Nvidia can do no wrong. EVER. It gets SO old after awhile. And watching them come up with new excuses after their initial arguments were put to rest makes it even worse.

If Nvidia makes a claim that isn't backed up, then they deserve to take a few lumps. The same goes for ATI/AMD, Intel or any other company.

To sum up here:
Is there an 8800 Vista driver: Yes an NV internal Beta only.

Will it be released: Highly likely on the 30th.

Is Vista out: Yes Vista Business is out for legitamate customers. All other vesions available on the 30th

Shoul Nv have devoted more resources to meeting the business launch: Probably not as most purchasers of Vista Business wont have an 8800.

Should Nv have advertised the 8800 as Vista Ready: No, not until the driver was ready. All other Nv cards work with Vista NOW except the 8800 - the Website even says so. (Nv supporters need to admit this one now or be branded 'Reality Challenged' or a payed shill)

Are owners of Business and the 8800 screwed: Yes Until the 30th

Whose to blame: MS for having tworelease dates and Nv for NOT having the appropriate labels on the box.

Flame on

lol, there are some links to e-tailers that you never got back with, so I don't exactly see your overgeneralzation as a good reason to being *completely* wrong.

However, you're probably are right. I shouldn't hold the fact that certain e-tailers can jump the gun against MS or nVidia. Didn't think about it like that before and I apologize.

We should only concentrate on Vista business editions that have been released to legit sources since that is the only version MS has deemed as *released* and in the cases encompassing that Vista version and a G80, nVidia *has* false advertised.

And that concludes the end of this burning pile of mess.

Excellent summary.

Is a version of Windows Vista legally available RIGHT NOW? Yes
Is there a Vista driver available for the 8800 series card? No
Since there is no Vista driver available, is the 8800 series actually "Vista Ready"? No

.

I confirmed 4 out of 5, so you can bet you were wrong to say vista is already released.

well, there goes your crediability and your WHOLE argument.

so Josh, in your own words I say these to you:


"I'm glad you finally saw your flawed reasoning. "

"That's because you haven't been getting it and must have just seen why you were wrong.

So yes, *hopefully* we shouldn't have to repeat "ourself" anymore. "

 

[josh6079]

Mind telling me how disproving my links to versions of Vista intended for the Jan. 30th launch date throws out my "whole" argument? Do you even know what my primary argument was?

the really *sad* thing is that you never had any credibility to begin with ... nor can you carry on an *argument* using any logic

but ... nice *distraction dance*

nvidia realizes Vista IS released - even if you don't

that's *why* they have a **disclaimer** on their website that SHOULD have been on their 8800 box.

This thread is a sad state of affairs.
Yet the first result if you search for 8800GTX Vista drivers on Google (unfortunately).

Truth here is simply this:
Vista for Business is out. Do you own a business? Does your business require a Geforce 8800GTX running on Vista to remain profitable?
If so, be very, very, VERY angry at Nvidia for this. If it is indeed affecting your profitability, you should get on the phone and call Nvidia and request a driver so you can feed your family.



If you are a gamer, there are no DX10 games yet, and no consumer version of Vista out on Best Buy store shelves yet.
Therefore, wait for Vista to become available for consumers. You will have your driver at that point. If not... then you have all rights to complain to Nvidia.
But wait till that point.

As far as the hardware, the Geforce8 is just as Vista Ready as any other piece of hardware. Thats called marketing. Now, grow up folks.

I just notice this post on NVnews

Modded drivers for vista are now available which supports the 8800 series cards. ...Something to play with until the final release.

I guess the uproar helped get these out. Good to see there's at least something available now, even if it's not WHQL.

i guess *someone* here passed on the message directly to nvidia
:Q

thanks, i guess



Beta drivers for an *unreleased* OS sounds about right and does fulfill the "Vista Ready" claim

IF i had a 8800 and Vista, i'd sure be satisfied ... now

BUT what does the OP think now?
