Forceware 100.65 Vista 32/64 WHQL Officially Released

[InSuboRdiNaTioN]

Nothing too ground breaking since not much has changed from 100.64.

32 bit: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_100.65.html

64 bit: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_100.65.html

Release Notes: http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/100.65/100.65_ForceWare_Release_Notes.pdf

Fixed issues since 100.64:
-NVIDIA Control Panel: Application Profiles do not work properly on systems with multiple user accounts.
-Geforce 7 Series: 1080i overlay playback quality is poor on 1080i devices.

I'm assuming we won't get a truly beefy driver release until March. I doubt I am even going to install this set. Aside from crappy performance/crashes in Vanguard (which I think are Vanguard's problem, not the driver's), the 100.64 release works fine for me.

Wow...awesome...

SIGH...

are these actually WHQL? from the looks of another thread started on nvnews, even the official ones are not WHQL

Haven't installed my copy of Vista yet, so I can't tell you. I do know nVidia promised a WHQL driver by the end of Feb, and at least one guy who snagged these off Guru3D yesterday said they were WHQL.

Installed fine for me without any non-WHQL error.

looks like it - from the nvidia website:

Release Highlights:

WHQL Certified driver for GeForce 8800, GeForce 7 series, and GeForce 6 series GPUs

Good to see the boys hard at work. Um...

Well, I suppose it's a good release if you experienced either of those two bugs. :D

Edit: I tell a lie, something's been going on here. iTunes scrolls much faster than it did with 100.64 (which was miles behind my XP laptop on a cheap 6800 Ultra Go).

Nvidia site not loading here :(

[jAkUp]

Yea, these are fully WHQL'd

[slaWter]

Cool, downloading now!

[Phyxion]

Well done NVIDIA, taking a month for these fixes!!!

Vista 32Bit = WHQL Certified
Vista 64Bit = Not WHQL Certified

Still get driver errors in WoW constantly. Still very poor OpenGL performance and at the store SLI dosen't work at all, crashes or see's a small performance increase using the 8800GTX. Directx 10 demo crashes constantly with errors.

Wipe off Vista X64, put Windows XP Professional X64 back on and WoW no longer has any errors, OpenGL works. Only issue is its using the 97.92 driver which is bugged to hell on XP, stuttering UT2K4, broken resolution in EA games, no Soft Shadow support in Fear, and various other issues.

I'll give Nvidia till then end of April to wow me with drivers for both XP and Vista, if nothing happens by then hopefully AMD/ATI get it right and I'll have to flip flop again.

[PeterJensen]

ehhh where are all the fixes....

[Dragunov]

somebody problems too in Vista (IE 7, firefox 2.0) to open mainpage of nvidia? :)

thx

How on earth can they get the driver pass WHQL with a control panel that remember less than my grandma? :thumbdwn:

:screwy:

[Ruined]

Do these still have the 2D corruption when switching to secure desktop in Vista (i.e. when going to device manager/when screen dims for permission to continue)?

WHQL means that it runs Windows problem free, as tested by Microsoft. It does not mean anything else.

The 64 bit Vista are WHQL!!

I hope those will fix the "Nvlddmkm Stopped responding" error i am getting in desktop and games with 100.6x and 100.5x. Running the 100.30 doesn't give this error!

[Blacklash]

I am still not getting AA + HDR in Oblivion. I had zero problems with MCE 2005 and the 8800 doing this. The old way of doing it does not work. Nor does setting it under the program tabs or as "enhance" rather than "override". I have also tried 4x-16Qx. Nothing works.

If it is working for you post how you got it enabled. As I say, the old way and newer suggestions = no go for me.

Not sure where you are getting that, fully WHQL in x64 for me.
