Vista & Nvidia Drivers

[DasFox]

I just installed Vista Ultimate, for my GameRig in my SIG, and I was wondering with this nForce4 SLI setup should I install the latest nForce Vista drivers over the default drivers that come installed with Vista, and haow are the latest Vista graphics drivers doing?

With your setup, you should install the 101.41 beta drivers WITHOUT QUESTION. Those are the best drivers around at this point for any Nvidia card, and the fact that you have SLI makes it even more important you go with these, as they're the first drivers to enable SLI in Vista. They're very stable even though they're in beta. Highly recommended over the default drivers, or any other WHQL drivers that are out right now.

Ok cool, what about the nForce drivers?

Nforce drivers are fine...just change your graphics drivers.

EDIT: I also installed the AMD dual-core optimizer on my vista rig, but to be honest I don't know if it made much difference....just a thought.

So just leave the default nForce drivers that come with Vista?

I'll check into the AMD drivers since I have an Opty 165

That AMD Dual-Core Optimizer isn't for Vista;
