anyone know when the drivers will support the dual gpu on the 7950gx2?

martin9887 · 1 Feb 2007 at 13:26

I tried these, they dont work good at all, I went to play BF2142 and it just crashes when I try to join a server and when I click audio options wtf?? Im using the rubbish beta creative drivers aswell so maybe there related aswell. I was hoping to be using Vista by now but oh well, suppose it will be a couple of months before nvidia or creative get semi working drivers out sigh.

I hope your right-clicking COD 2's icon and running it as ADMINISTRATOR?

If not then your officially gonna be called nOOb from now on

erm...i was just 2xleft clicking the icon lol, im the only one on the pc so im pretty sure my account is admin.

Im on xp atm, and i go into my computer and i can see my other HD with all my vista program and windows files ect, but still cant boot that drive even when i put the vista HD as first boot over the other HD.

When i installed any new nvidia drivers on vista, everything goes along nice starts installing components etc the green bar is loading up, then screen goes black.

Same problem here, the screen goes black about half way through and never comes back.

The whole vista driver situation is turning in to a real nightmare, my current drivers blue screen every 5 mins.

elite · 1 Feb 2007 at 17:29

puppies? i wouldn't call these puppies they are dire mate. To think NV drivers were what made me go NV is funny, as now the XP 8800 drivers don't have any fixed aspect radio support...can they get any worst.

Now that NV is working on the Vista drivers the XP ones wont get any support for a few more weeks.

HEADRAT · 1 Feb 2007 at 17:50

The fact that we've still got BETA drivers for the 8800 series is just very poor IMHO, this is a high end enthusiast card, apparently there will be a WHQL DirectX 9 and OpenGL SLI driver by the end of Feb but still no commitment on DX10

I would say that Nvidia is flying very close here to "not as advertised"!

From the ASA website

"Advertisements should not mislead"

I would say now that Vista has launched the following claims are misleading:-

World's first unified architecture supporting Microsoft® DirectX® 10
Built for Microsoft® Windows® Vista™
Shader Model 4.0
Full Microsoft® DirectX® 10 Support:
World's first DirectX 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects.

Didn't you dual boot in the first place?

3rd set of drivers which just wont let me play cod2, i go to load the games, takes 3mins of a blackscreen before i see the game menu, then vista says there is a problem and shuts the game down. Starting to think about installing xp on my other HD.

was playing cod2 last night with these fine at 1440x900 4xAA 8xAF in DX9 mode.

I installed these earlier (32-bit), but can't find the SLI option (Vista Business x86, 2x7800GT).

It's not in the 3D Settings bit, only:

"Adjust image settings with preview"
&
"Manage 3D settings"

can't really remember where the SLI option usually is, but i've had a good look round and can't find it.

Not much of a problem because I have another partition with XP on it, but would be nice to know if the installation was messed up by installing over the 100.54 driver, or if these drivers are just crap.

SLI is only availale for the 8800 cards

Trixxy · 2 Feb 2007 at 04:48

oh yeah, thanks.

never bothered to read the release notes until now.

Which is why I am back using xp.

Trox · 2 Feb 2007 at 16:03

Why is it that it looks like the vista driver on nvforums doesnt exist, looks like someones been deleting threads or hiding them :/

Pants · 2 Feb 2007 at 19:05

These work well with my 7600 GT. Improvement in 3D Mark score, and AA fixed etc.

bfar · 4 Feb 2007 at 01:12

I can't get the contol panel to force AA or AF. I can't even get it to add a new game profile full stop. Anyone have the same?

Hayley-K · 4 Feb 2007 at 01:14

oooo new drivers lets hope it solves my bluescreen problem

I have the same problem, the thing just will not load up. Just keeps saying not responding.
