NVIDIA sent over a press release announcing that they are the first company to offer officially approved Windows Vista drivers for their Geforce line of graphics drivers. The new drivers have been approved for Vista by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You can download both x86 Vista drivers (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_96.85.html) along with x64 Vista drivers (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_96.85.html) from NVIDIA's web site.

Is this really a gaming topic?  Borderline at best.  Anyway, I guess it's good news that people are coming up with drivers for Vista to work.  Not sure what else to say.

What else we need is for StarForce to update their drivers so their copypright-protected games will work on Vista -- and to make StarForce less vicious on PC's, too. Better than that suggestion is we need more game publishers and developers to just make patches to remove the need of SF from their game.

I figured Vista drivers for vid cards would've been out closer to the release of Vista, not now....even though Vista's not really too far away.

The INQ says it fixes a lot of things, but makes some worse.

I won't cut and paste since it is quite long:
