| | Re: New ATI Drivers So far so good on the Vista 64 drivers. I'm getting better numbers of Doom3 (still about 15 shy of XP) The FEAR numbers are still neck and neck with XP and the 3dMark06 numbers are still about 10 shy of XP. I've done several reboots and no BSODs.

| | Re: New ATI Drivers What you got the G15 keyboard? I have that as well. makes it more exciting. So far, the performance is a tad better under Vista32. about 5 fps faster under Doom3, not much change under 3dmark06 , FEAR is giving me the best numbers ever, only 2 behind XP's. I've rebooted a few times and no crashes like I got under 7.3. So at this moment, the 7.4 under Vista32 appear to be fine. Sure wish stalker had a benchmark to run.

| | Installed those new drivers today, and Nexuiz stopped working.  I don't recommend installing them, current drivers work fine. |

| | Re: New ATI Drivers Are you not running them for a reason, like the performance problem in FEAR ? I initially used the XP drivers and they worked fine, and used the XP64 drivers for Vista 64. It gives an error about the media center, but that's it. But they have Vista drivers out (though I think it's just the XP drivers renamed). Now if you play FEAR alot, then it might be a long wait "Kris" <kris@lunarspells.com> wrote in message news:E9194E7C-499E-41DE-A53F-D5FE28196969@microsoft.com... > Yep, the G15... sure makes a nice paperweight They told me they're> hoping to have drivers ready for it by the end of April... > > Ok, guess it's time to update video drivers... again... eek.... > > > > "Dale White" <dale.white@NOinsightbb.NOcom> wrote in message > news:eHR4LGqgHHA.588@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >> What you got the G15 keyboard?
