Vista nVidia Drivers!!!

New nVidia drivers for Vista:
This is Version 175.70

Vista x32
http://downloads.guru3d.com/ForceWare-175.70-Vista-(32-bit)-download-1926.html

Vista x64
http://downloads.guru3d.com/ForceWare-175.70-Vista-(64-bit)-download-1925.html

This helped my with Fps in games as AoC (age of Conan) and WOW (world of Warcraft), from 15 to 84 Fps some times up to 128 Fps in AOC and from 38 to 60 Fps in WOW.

re: Vista nVidia Drivers!!!

I tried the 175.70 and did not like them at all - went right back to .16, and the last link I posted has mixed reviews about .80

I am sticking to nVidia WHQL drivers for now. Besides, I am OCing :P

re: Vista nVidia Drivers!!!

Are these 'official' beta drivers? I suspect not, since I have checked on the NVidia website and the latest driver, beta or final release, is 175.16 WHQL. If I needed to install a beta driver to fix an issue, I would obtain it directly from NVidia. Preferably, I would wait until it has been WHQL certified.

re: Vista nVidia Drivers!!!

No, they are not *official* beta drivers, meaning they are not from nVidia, AFAICT.
