Vista and WDDM problem

Muzy · 4 Feb 2007 at 13:15

I am posting this as a tip. I hop everyone know about this.

To get the highest frame rate in any game, make sure you uninstall the WDDM for you Graphic card and install the official release. & block vista from downloading the WDDM as an update.

2x bfg 7800gtx MARKS:
CSS with WDDM = 58 fps
CSS with WDDM + 100.59forceware = 33 fps
CSS with 100.59forceware = 105fps :cool:

can't wait for future drivers which enable sli in 7 series

thank you for reading

Um, WDDM drivers seem to work fine with my graphics card, AND its stable. Unless ati definitely have stable vista drivers I dont really wanna change from wddm

Nvidia are still getting clued up on WDDM. ATI have been clued up for months.

If you're buying a Vista system make sure you get an ATI card cause I doubt Nvidia will catch ATI up for several months yet.

And this is coming from someone who's last ATI card was a Rage Fury 8MB

Well the welcome center says Its a Radeon x1600 series (Cant remember specifically which one).

Do ATI have drivers for the whole series or can I check which specific card it is?
