I had a very unstable system til these drivers with 64bit Vista Ultimate. Need for Speed Most Wanted, Tigers Wood 2007 & several classic High Heat baseball games run great with these drivers.

Wow..as far as wow, source games, and supreme commander go these drivers are great.

Although only issues i have had is that during the installation i lose display and have to do a manual restart (everything seems to have worked during the installation though o.O) and whenever i try and load c&c3 the EA logo shows, and then the monitor keeps turning on and off over and over again untill i reboot the system. I tried with the latest update and uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and c&c3. Also i only get 6fps in wow when i play in window mode.

Anyone having same issues?

Supersampling Antialiasing performance has been improved on my 7900GTX card. I love using the combined modes when performance allows for it.

If the flat panel scaling controls do not "take", try hooking up the monitor to the other DVI connector.

If you are an 8800 owner, some were just released in 2 May. If you aren't an 8800 owner, there were some released in November that seem to work just fine (unlike the 8800 cards). What category do you fall into?

Back onto topic, I find these drivers work just fine. I haven't had a driver restart error in quite a while.
