nvidia ?

thanks i think lol ill look into it then the .co.uk site loads fine but not that one odd ?

i get this error in firefox -
var rssReader_rssFeed; var rssReader_rssItems; var rssReader_moz = ((typeof(document.implementation) != 'undefined') && (typeof(document.implementation.createDocument) != 'undefined')); var rssReader_ie = (typeof(window.ActiveXObject) != 'undefined'); var rssReader_isFeedLoaded = false; var rssReader_rssTitle = ""; var rssReader_xml = ""; var rssR

and just a white top section on ie7 ?
 
The home page stopped working for me around 11:50pm yesterday. Didnt work on IE or FF. Doesnt work in school now on FF or IE.
 
Nvidia used to have good support. They've been a shambles with Vista.

-No beta Vista driver for a 3 month old range of cards until the last minute, why not? Surely it would have made sense to use their customers for testing and feedback.
-No official driver on the morning of Vista's official release
-No nvidia website on the morning of Vista's official release
-Going by the betas that have turned up, the official driver will be nothing to shout about.
-All along, basically told their 8800 customers to **** off.

Agreed.....

*/hugs ATI X800XT card + ATi's excellent support and Vista drivers on the* morning of Vista's arrival! :D

When I switched VGA from Nvidia to ATI, the driver support was the one thing I missed.

However, AMD seem to have their eye on the ball.

I now have an Nvidia Mobo chipset and support has not been that great to be honest.

ATI aren't that much better. They only released a proper OpenGL driver when Doom3 came out, and they were late with it too....

That said, the gl driver was never really an issue even if it was 3-5 fps slower then equivilent nvidia card. all gl games have worked and worked well since my first ati 8500.

nvidia has never really supported their hardware and always forget about there previous hardware when they release the next model. chipsets maybe get one update before support is dropped and new stuff is next model up only.
gfx cards maybe 2-3 whql drivers a year. have to wait ages for driver fixes for new games unless tempted by less then stable beta releases.

maybe I sound abit fanboyish, but ive had a mixture of both sets of cards and since the ati monthy updates, very few problems exist and ati cards do tend to get faster durring their support lifetime making them last a little longer in regards to new games. nvidia cards just dont scale well although i do remember the last ditch speed boost effort the gf4 had out of nowhere when ati were getting close.

the whole vista thing as already mentioned shows nvidias lackluster support of late.
 
My first nVidia card was a Geforce 4 MX440. Last card, then I decided to try ATI, got a 9700 Pro, was so happy with that. next card was the 9800pro and now I have a X800Xt. I've never ad any problems with these Ati cards. As ATi update their drivers monthly, just about.

And with their new Vista drivers, working great....nVidia's web site is down..

Never liked nVidia, I don't really know why..
 
I agree. nVidia better do something about their drivers. This is an awful situation to be in. They are certainly doing themselves PR damage by the woeful state of their drivers. nVidia are going to have a hard time to convince me to go with them when I buy my DX10 card.
 
I hope so Nvidia put new drivers for Vista x86 and x64 as I noticed the site still went out in white bar with error message - so just wait until few days - best check at weekend that 4 days to go.... Im still waiting for Nvidia NF4 Ultra for my AMD motherboard drivers as Ive download Marvell LAN network driver that just came out last month -- anyone use Marvell chipset then check on www.marvell.com

Also Im still wait for ASUS to release ATI for my X1900XTX graphic card as it Beta version just now. How come MS got all the drivers that work on thier own PC??? maybe they used thier own drivers...dont you think?

Ah, it was a fair bit slower than that, and looked ugly too. They came up with a great new driver in the end tho :D

Me too - I've generally been happier with Nvidias in the past due to better driver compatibility, but ATI have completely caught up in that respect, and are overtaking even. That said, I've been extremely happy with my 8800 in XP. I actually like Nvidias simple non gaudy control panel (ATI's CCC looks like someone puked on my screen :D ), and all my games have worked great.

Agreed. There is an arguement that they needed much more developement time due to new hardware/new OS. But they've had a lot of time already. Plus they promised a driver on the release of Vista. They don't even have a website as far as I can see.....
 
yes the site was down i thought that thee vista drivers for the 8800gtx would be posted :)


but no :mad:
but what ****** me of is
Desktop GPUs
"Windows Vista Ready:"

** GeForce 8800 GPUs

** GeForce 8800 requires updated drivers for Vista, which will be available to download when Vista is available at retail in late January.
