Nvidia and ATI release new Vista drivers at last
Nvidia and AMD both made new drivers available for download yesterday, to accompany the Microsoft Vista launch.
AMD claims its new ATI Catalyst 7.1 offers a big leap in performance over beta Vista drivers but admits Windows Vista is still eight per cent slower in Far Cry, four per cent slower in Dark Messiah and 1-2 per cent slower in all the 3Dmarks and Half-Life 2 when compared with XP performance.
Crossfire support is once again limited, with no OpenGL Crossfire support whatsoever.
In a statement AMD says it is now developing performance adaptive anti-aliasing and their Catalyst Control Center for linux.
Nvidia's new Forceware 100.54 driver has bigger problems with early reports suggesting there is zero SLI support and the videogame Prey won't work.
