For those who are testing windows 7. A native NVIDIA display-driver for w7 is released. Seems to work well with GPUGRID. |

Yeah I had been using Windows Vista drivers and installed them by setting the installers to Vista Compatibility, but I decided to try the native Windows 7 driver. Seems to be working fine. The estimate for time left seems to be better now. I have yet to see a workunit finish so we'll see if the times are any different for similar credit count. |

humm, your right, and the fan control don't work either. However, the performance increase is just to great for me, I am sticking with them. surly, you should never install drivers in compatibility mode, that can lead to problems. In previous drivers, the vista driver install detected win7 as Win7 and installed a few different dlls. |

@Tank_Master Hmm I didn't notice any problems, but thanks for mentioning it:P Well I just wanted a Windows 7 graphics driver that supported CUDA and I seemed to be able to run GPUGrid just fine with the Vista drivers. However, from now on I'll stick with the Windows 7 drivers because CUDA-supported ones have become available. |

The driver is in use by me since the release. I have had no problems. The difference between this release and the previous used Vista is that changes in the control panel for the AA- or AF-settings take effect in games. |
