I haven't been able to use Vista since I upgraded my GPU. So what's taking NVIDIA so long? Release the driver already NVIDIA!! :|

They have decided to recall the entire 8800 series unfortunately, due to inability to create drivers for them that work with Vista ;)

I'm not sure if I'm up to participating in "I NEED VISTA DRIVERS FOR NVIDIA 8800GTX :!" Part 2.


Let me know how it turns out.

Sorry, I wasn't aware of any other threads! I have a life and don't have time to read EVERY thread on this forum.

So where is the other thread so I can read what is going on?

I found it! Sorry I haven't been hanging around here lately.

to sum up the last thread:

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

Should 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.

I have a life too, but I find it hard to believe that you missed a 5 page thread that is at the top of this forum every time you visit it (You do have to visit it to post).

Don't mind the conspiracy theorists.... If you look closely you can see the fanboys.

I started the thread just to get basic info but some people just took it too seriously ;(... it turned to bloody GPU war. I do have 2x 8800GTX which i am happy with.
