It's not a question of what we're allowed to have, it's a question of what NVIDIA is required to support. I'd also point out that Release Candidates don't entitle people to drivers.Jhayman said:
"Not on store shelves yet" = no urgency on the part of NVIDIA to provide drivers to the comparitively tiny number of people who obtain (legally or illegally) the RTM build.tesfaye said:

I just love the way you guys think. Official release dates are official release dates. You guys can keep getting all pissy about un-registered CDs being shipped via OEMs, and being able to run RCs, RTMs, and trial versions. . . but that doesn't change the official release date. And I suspect NVIDIA considers the official release date (possibly even the "public" one rather than the "corporate" one) their deadline.vxspiritxv said:Um, ya vista is out. Dell is shipping the disk, as well as others. Been out since the 15th.
Also the final version doesn't even need a code, it will work for 30days with out one.
I really need the vista x64 drivers as well
Edit: Oh btw posted using Mozilla Mindfield x64 on vista x64
And I still don't understand. . .if we're going to get pissy about no Vista drivers for the 8800? Why isn't there outrage about the crippled one available for the earlier cards.
I was running RC2 with the intention of keeping it on until January and just installing the retail release on top of it. I did that with XP with no issues. Vista has already benn released you apes!
fireluxx said:Yeah, I bet you are running the final... oh wait.. yeah.. I mean the leaked WinBeta RTM, which is the Ultimate version. I dare you to post a screenshot saying that you activated the 6000 Build. [/sarcasm]

It's like half of you people (while insulting others) have no concept of the difference between a public, official release, and making it available pre-release to the technical community.computerpro3 said:

Actually, the worst thing they could have done was not to have any Windows XP drivers. Since that is the driver that 99.9% of 8800 users will be using. The second worst thing they could do would be to spend a lot of time on Vista drivers even though Vista won't be available to the vast majority of consumer until January 30th while its Windows XP drivers still have so many problems.annaconda said:

Well considering this thread has made me second guess upgrading to an 8800 on Friday because I run Vista RC2 I would say that the lack of Vista drivers is pretty bad idea for NVIDIA.Hurin said:
Actually, I'm pretty hard on NVIDIA and my point was that their XP drivers need work and that should be more urgent to NVIDIA than the relatively few pre-release Vista users who are wandering this forum all butt hurt that NVIDIA doesn't have a driver for them despite there being no compelling reason for there to be one. . . or for these people to be running Vista.Cyrilix said:From many reports on this forum, the XP drivers for the 8800 series aren't stable and cause performance variations on reboot, among other things. I know you're very quick to defend nVidia for what it does, but despite their hardware hard launch, their software has hardly been a hard launch.

It's funny how you want them to fix somewhat working drivers so "YOU" can be happy yet when others ask for ANY driver for Vista you seem to think we are asking for the world.Hurin said:Actually, I'm pretty hard on NVIDIA and my point was that their XP drivers need work and that should be more urgent to NVIDIA than the relatively few pre-release Vista users who are wandering this forum all butt hurt that NVIDIA doesn't have a driver for them despite there being no compelling reason for there to be one. . . or for these people to be running Vista.
It is a DX10-capable card. There's no denying it that.|CR|Constantine said:
These "hardcore" users made the assumption that drivers would be downloadable (or actually on the disc!) for an operating system that has only been released to the development community and tech companies, and, furthermore, had not been released in a final form to anyone upon day-one availability of the card?|CR|Constantine said:
I'm not sure if "cook your noodle" is the correct phrase here, though your conspiracy theory is fairly amusing.|CR|Constantine said:
That's mildly extreme.
