Which 8800 nVidia Driver for Vista 64 is Best?

Postby FlightHound » Mon Mar 17, 2008 8:57 am

I loaded Vista 64 on a separate partition to run FSX exclusively.  XP 64 will not load on this chipset.  "Ghandi's Brother" from Dell confirmed this.  

Tried every driver WHQLs and Betas.  Running nHancer and set up according to Nickn.  Made FSX.cfg mods from stickies.  I'm getting jaggies on all drivers.  I probably need to double check all settings, but I need a concensus on which driver has been the best for Vista 64.

Cant tell you that because I dont use Vista x64 and Nvidia  LOL

Yes, it appears you either do not have netframework installed or the settings right

Here is a Vista list http://downloads.guru3d.com/Videocards- ... a_c32.html

Thanks Nick.  I'll check to see if the .net framework is loaded.  I've done this so many times, that I can't remember whether I installed the latest version or not.
