NEW NVIDIA DRIVERS.

Please note that this is a "beta" driver, and that you *may* get undesirable
results, or even break your system.

If you are not prepared to redo your system, either from a saved image or by
doing a fresh install, beware of beta software - from anyone.

Hi there,

I saw those drivers and i was wondering if the Forceware driver is supposed
to be the complete driver ? or is that an add on driver??

thanks

"Add on driver"?

Forceware is the driver + software for tweaking it's settings.

I too, have a 7950 GX2. I installed the BETA drivers and the card no
shows up in the device manager as two cards. However, when you check i
the graphics adapor information in the Vista Perfomance information th
amount of dedicated graphics memory is still only showing as 512mb an
sharing 494mb of the system memory. This should, if everything wa
running okay show as 1024mb dedicated graphics memory. I'm not sur
whether or not the card would still use some shared memory, I woul
think not with all that on board ram

Below i've posted my results from the Vista Performance Information

Hi,

I just tried to install the driver as my vga card is on the list of
supported hardware,but the setup did not complete as i received a message
the the setup program could not find any drivers that are compatible for the
hardware.Is this the "beta" part,where it doesnt work properly ??? Or what
might not be quite right ? hmmm

thanks
