Vista - RC2 build 5744 - Is SLI fixed?

Hi, I've downloaded every single beta release of Vista, and of course, I'm
going to download this as soon as it's available again. If you have a Geforce
7950 you know that the drivers included in previous releases make it
impossible to install Vista with one of these cards present.

I'm asking anyone with a 7950, or 2 7XXX in SLI mode that already downloaded
the RC2 to confirm if this is fixed or not.

Thanks!!!

It's a bit early to answer that. The RC2 download has only just become
available (for a select group initially).

Sometimes its best to even try for yourself to find out. If not, you bug it.

Of course, I agree.

Thing is, RC2 was up for a while, then down, and I didn't know if it was
gonna be back up any time soon. It is now, and I'm downloading it

I'll post my results as soon as possible.

SLI is supposed to be fixed by rtm, but I don't know about build 5744.

It works!!

Just upgraded XP to Vista RC2, and had no problems at all. Doesn't look like
SLI is working, I'm getting half the frame rates I had on XP, but at least it
doesn't crash anymore on install.
