Default Drivers for vista?
I was just reading a review in Maximum Pc for a rig by"smooth creations diablo", i noticed that they said the rigs performance was hindered by the poor vista drivers for SLI. If i had a single car (geforce 8800gtx/gts) would my performance still be bad? I would like to know because im going to build a new rig at summer's start and i planned on using vista. And does Nvidia have anyplans for vista drivers?

The 158.18 drivers are the best drivers so far for the 88 series card.

Even though the drivers are improving just install card and let Vista install drivers. Trust me you will have no issues what so ever, between that card and vista. Hopefully by then the actual nvidia drivers will be alot better.

I hope so because the rig claimed the lowest scores due to the operating system (according to the magazine). And i really want my games to run good.
