Nvidia 8800 Drivers?

paulmh_5 · Jan 14, 2007

Does anyone know if Nvidia have released any vista drivers for the 8800 cards? The drivers below only say they support up-to the 7xxx cards?

I've kinda answered my own question by hunting about on nvidia's forums but it was early and reading was hard :confused:

Guess ill leave my £2000 PC sat there with a vista rating of 1 till i get my driver *boo-hoo*

Looks like some have leaked to the net

Software Description

Windows Vista 64-bit

Props to laptopvideo2go for finding these drivers. The most anticipated driver ever has finally been released/leaked or what ever you may like to call it. GeForce 8800 Users can now rejoice in finally having support in Vista which is not even released yet. I wonder if this or a slightly later build will be included with Vista or will become a Windows Update Download.

The Control Panel is very lacking in any usability.

There is no:

Powermizer page

Resolution page

TV control page

Overlay page

Control Panel takes ages to pop up. (another install of driver has made this shorter, but still takes ages)
Resolution always resorts to 1024x768 after a Standby/Resume.

It does have:

Rotate Page

Colour Page

Display Configuration page (Dualview Clone etc.)

3D Settings

Image settings

Now that the x64 version and nTune only work with x86 there is of course no Overclock page
There are good news though: this driver at least detects my LCD TV via HDMI (DVI) with it's proper name, 95 series drivers don't. But some small issues still exist here as well, the TV MUST be selected first, then LCD panel else the TV just displays a blank page.

CODE
[Version]
Signature = "$Windows NT$"
Provider = %NVIDIA%
ClassGUID = {4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Class = Display
CatalogFile = NV_DISP.CAT
DriverVer = 12/14/2006, 7.15.11.0030

This driver in it's original state is for 8800 series desktop GPUs only. Also there is no SLI support yet in Vista, but at least your have some support now. A modded INF (supplied in the download) is needed unless you have a 8800 GPU.
This is BETA in it's highest form people ! Treat and respect it as such.

ForceWare Vista 100.30 (GeForce 8800) x64 :D
