SLI Support

One thing I noticed is that the nVidia drivers don't include SLI support in
Vista. Is that because Vista doesn't have the ability or because they
simply haven't put it in the drivers yet?

Get with program, this is beta software ... beta means it is under
development. In other words, you have not paid money for it yet.

This is a problem with the nVidia drivers. Making video cards work with
Windows Vista is the video card manufacturer's responsibility.

Hopefully they will get this figured out before or when Vista RC1 is
released.

NVIDIA hires lots of guys who has Phd.'s, never fear.

Yeah. I figured I'd ask to see if anyone had found a better driver than the
one I dug up. Some people just don't seem to get that there's a reason to
ask questions I guess. Especially since I've probably been doing the beta
thing since before they were born.

I was surprised when nVidia got it together to release "official" x64
drivers for XP Pro 2005. I couldn't imagine that MS would make SLI
unavailable, as it's starting to be standard in most gaming systems now
anyways. If anyone does hear about any SLI support, let us know so we can go
grab it and test that also.

I'll be doing a comment on my radio show about the beta2 last week of july
after I get it down enough to play with for any length of time. We also
have a new system contract to deal with this week, so that loses me 7 days.

I've gotten out of the MS newsgroup loop because there have gotten to be too
many kids who simply want to bash things to make it usefull. I'll stick
around here just to get people's real opinions before I do the comment on
the show.

I also find it strange that new operating system has missed out on the
chance to test SLI, the new standard.

Come on MS lets have it soon

Vista isn't the problem. It's the video drivers from the card
manufacturers.

Hey there,

Actually, I am not sure that is going to happen. The graphics are already so
overloaded with this hulking beast of a new OS....;-).

But then again, they might just be out tomorrow...

Best regards,
