SLI problem is M$ not NVidia

I am thinking that if this is true and there is a fix out now for Vista and SLI from M$, we're about to see a lot more benchmarks hitting the wibble!.

Oh, and Crossfire too

Agreed.

Microsoft have no need to drop their prices, they have no competition.

I was just about to post that, if people want to hold off for 5 mins I am just installing it on vista64. If I don't post again today I will be rebuilding my machine...

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Just tried the Lost Planet DX10 demo again.

At 1920 x 1080 x 32bit I now get averages of:

Snow 70
Cave 57

More than double what I used to get before the fix The demo looks so much more smooth now too

it's a windows update file, your PC should automatically recognise it...

Installed the patch, Company of Heroes still sucks in DX10, same performance as before.

Hopefully this means the Crysis BETA will be coming sooner rather than later.

I can't really remember what I was referring to.

However this performance fix doesn't seem to be a stability fix. Could it be a fix for the problems Crytek were experiencing? Who knows. I don't.
