New Vista WHQL drivers

Nvidia has version 96.85 32 and 64 bit Vista drivers up on their web site. Currently downloading so I haven't tried them yet.

3DMark 05 scores-Leadtek 7300GT 128meg DDR3 535/1400

96.77 drivers 2936
96.85 drivers 3052

XP 91.47 drivers 4056

There was some improvement but nothing to get excited about.

It will be interesting to see how they work. Thanks for the notice. 🙂

Edit: After installation, the system seems a bit snappier, though that could be a placebo effect (my "windows experience index" didn't change, for what it's worth). The only OpenGL program I have conveniently available on this box is an ancient copy of tuxracer, but it works fine - that is to say, much better than with the NVIDIA drivers that ship with Vista RC2.
 
They did. It was version 96.33 and has probably been taken down since 96.85 was posted. You might find it somewhere with a search.

Good, I've had stability issues with 95.64 and 96.33. Fortunetly with Vista when the video subsystem crashes the system doesnt bluescreen :thumbsup:
