The most anticipated driver ever has finally been released/leaked or what ever you may like to call it.
8800 Users can now rejoice in finally having support in Vista which is not even released yet.

Now how we will test DX10 capabilities of this driver??
It's like 0 DX10 apps available
Mightbe nVidia relelased demos for DX10?

[Atom]

i'm gonna have to reinstall vista again to use the drivers this time
thanks

[HaLDoL]

you can test the dx10 capabilities with the aero engine

[cky2k6]

aero runs on dx9 i thought?

[HaLDoL]

if you don't have a dx10 card aero runs on dx9 yes

according to someone at nvnews, 3dmarks scores are higher in vista.

[yaddam205]

64bit Vista driver?

I thought we already established that VISTA 64 was at least another year away lol.

[jbizzler]

Omg Omg Omg!!!

[mrlobber]

according to someone at nvnews, 3dmarks scores are higher in vista.

Can somebody confirm/deny this?

[jbizzler]

It works. I'm using it now. I'm so excited.

It works. I'm using it now. I'm so excited.

yeah it works and i got a 5.9 rating for it too

thanks a lot man!!

try 3dmark and compare with xp please

[Nedjo]

if you don't have a dx10 card aero runs on dx9 yes

Vista Aero allways use DX9Ex!!

[cky2k6]

if you don't have a dx10 card aero runs on dx9 yes

according to someone at nvnews, 3dmarks scores are higher in vista.

no, i thought aero always runs dx9, and dx10 only handles the games, including dx9 emulation.

[HaLDoL]

it shouldnt be higher, remember 3d performance in vista is always aprox 30% lower than in XP, cause AERO is running all the time, even while playing games

That's not true, vista should be faster because the GUI is shut down when running games. It produces less overhead so more resources are available to games.
The only reason dx9 games will be slower is because dx9 has to be emulated through dx10 and vista drivers aren't probably up to par with their xp counterparts

[HaLDoL]

no, i thought aero always runs dx9, and dx10 only handles the games, including dx9 emulation.

That's not logical. Vista emulates dx9 through dx10, so according to you they emulate the dx9 aero gui through dx10????

you can turn aero off at will.

[zbogorgon]

with DX9 card 3DMarks in 32bit vista are lower, CPU tests was higher in my case, haven't tired with 8800 yet

[Nedjo]

That's not logical. Vista emulates dx9 through dx10, so according to you they emulate the dx9 aero gui through dx10????

That simply is not true! DX9 is not emulated under Vista!!

Please check MSDN before stating this nonsense!

[jbizzler]

The DX10 apps in the SDK run just fine!!!!!!

[phi|os]

If you can, bench Company of Heroes on Vista. I run rez 1920x1200, and in XP, with NOT everything quite turned up, I was lucky to get 15fps in the in-game benchmark. In Vista 64-bit, 1920x1200 EVERYTHING turned up, I get...wait for it...55 in FPS!!!! Check my sig for hardware. You 8800 users should see some amazing things soon. And DX9 runs fine in Vista. No noticable performance, if any at all.

Just use the classic theme of Win2k for more performance.

[dejavuxx]

is this really true????? hmmmm if so hey u guys over @ crytek its time for a crysis CES demo... huh?

[Syn.]

Just use the classic theme of Win2k for more performance.

actually you are really trading off one loss of performance for another. Having a GPU dependent GUI means that CPU has less work to do, if you switch to old (software based) rendering then the CPU gets to do work. In a seance if you get DX10 card with decent Vista drivers the improvement of WDDM over XP drivers will/should equal XP performance even with GPU based GUI running in the back. The only reason why MS is saying expect such loss performance over XP due to mostly DX9 cards and not that good WDDM based drivers.
