NVIDIA's Vista Drivers
Tuesday 30th January, 2007 22:00 Comments: 0
Up until today I've been saying "they suck" to most of my friends, but today I came across an official beta driver for Vista x64. And it actually works well. The CS:S Video Stress Test wth some fairly high settings (2560x1600, 4xAA, 8xAF, everything else on High) would kill my card, the BFG 7800GT OC - we're talking 4.9fps (I ran it twice to be sure)! I installed the new drivers, gave Vista a restart, went back into CSS and ended up with... 72.55fps. That's nearly 15x faster just from using a newer driver (again, I ran it twice to be sure)! I've also seen a 50% improvement for 1280x1024 with AA off and Trilinear filtering. If you've installed Vista and you own an NVIDIA card, I would highly recommend this beta driver.
