I know this is posted in the other section, but just figured I'd post it here for the Vista users as well.

What major problems are still there on Vista X64? Because I've been running it for quite some time now, and except for Digital Vibrance, never had much problems, now that we've had DV for a while now, I can't be happier, performance is good as well. :)

Anyone tried these yet with a DVI-HDMI cable? I seem to bsod with every other 163.xx driver when using one.

I had a lot of problems with these drivers. After the usual message about unsigned drivers, installation started, but at some point the screen turned black and just stayed black.

Harddisk was still accessed, but funny thing was that the computer beeped at regular intervals.

After a hard reset and a reboot into safe mode, I'm got the impression there was something wrong with interrupt (or PCI/PCIe) allocation. Some conflict.

First I thought it was the crappy new driver for my X-Fi.

Solution was to completely remove all GeForce Vista drivers before installing this new version.

Weird...

if you get the black screen, just wait 30-40 seconds, and press enter button.

PC will reboot, and everything will be fine.

These drivers load textures in BioShock much faster for me.

I've never heard of this before, as I am using a DVI-HDMI cable and haven't experienced a BSOD of any type, with any of the 163.xx drivers. Could it possibly be related to something else? Maybe I'm just very fortunate!!!!
