®®® Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Microsoft® has made available the following Windows Vista® hotfixes. NVIDIA recommends that its customers always stay up to date with the latest hotfixes from Microsoft. The following hotfixes are recommended for GeForce 6, 7, and 8 series customers running 3D applications on Microsoft Windows Vista: 1) Hotfix for GeForce customers running DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 applications: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940105. This hotfix resolves abnormal application behavior such as crashes and extremely low frame rates when running some 3D applications at very high graphics settings. This issue is not limited to, but has been most commonly noticed on high-end graphics cards and the following applications: Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Civilization IV, Company of Heroes, Half-Life 2, Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth II, Supreme Commander, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas. In order for this hotfix to be effective, GeForce customers must also update to the latest ForceWare Release 163.44 drivers. 2) Hotfix for SLI customers running DirectX 10 applications: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936710. This hotfix resolves occurrences of low frame rates on some DirectX 10 applications when SLI is enabled. Performance improvements will vary depending on the application and the graphics driver version. source: NVIDIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerXML Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Also would be interested, planning to reinstall Windows with XP/Vista on the weekend (have to reactivate Vista yet again, new mobo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest superzombie23 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 It might be my imagination, but I think Bioshock's frame rate is a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_angel Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 is there any reason why my BluRay player is saying I have an incompatible graphics driver after installing these drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
