Guest Fange Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 The current nvidia driver for windows 7 is 178.23 or something close to that and from my experience is not as fast and the 180+ drivers are under vista. Other than that windows 7 beta is faster booting, loads programs quicker, has fewer processes and usually is stable unless you are using a dell xps m1530 notebook which has horrible problems with hardware detection on boot up.

Phnx Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm using DOX's 182.05 on Win7 x64 and it's running beautifully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushi Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) I tried to run Burnout Paradise on Windows 7 using Dox's 182.05, and it was fantabulous :) My 8600M GT had stuttering problems (a well-known blunder by Nvidia) but in Windows 7 the stutterings were replaced by slowdowns (annoying, but less so compared with stuttering) instead. So it's somewhat an improvement I guess. Tomb Raider: Underworld runs fine on Windows 7 also, and smoother too in fact during the menu scene.

Mushu Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I find most games on Windows 7 run on the same speed as in Vista, for my GPU that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
