NVIDIA stressed in an interview last week that QUALITY would be the main issue of the next driver release not performance. I am using MS Vista and I did see a framerate increase in 3D Mark 2006 which is a static benchmark test. However, I have seen some issues I had disappear with this release.

LOL. Can we get, uh.....both?? My video card is 100% paid for, no reason for it to run at 20% of its potential...

If you're only getting 20%, then you have other issues.

When you say NEW DRIVER, specify that they are BETA drivers, it make a big difference whether it's a BETA or a non-BETA

Well, under XP SLI works although the performance increase is certainly NOT worth the price of the second card, and it worked with 64 Bit Vista and the previous Beta driver but with this new one theres no output from either card at all in SLI mode. It works alright in non SLI and I think I will just get another MB and CPU and build another machine with this second waste of space :)

The 158.18s are New released drivers. Not betas

Martin, The driver is indeed a beta driver and it is clearly labeled as such on the Nvidia site, but as such, it remains a new driver. At this point in time I would be less concerned about WHQL or beta designations than functionality.

I installed the new drivers (this new driver is the 1st 1 to actually work) but I have a 19" lcd monitor that has a max res of 1280 x 1024 but after installing the new drivers it won't let me go past 1024 x 768. I have found that the problem is not with my monitor but I'm thinking it's still the drivers because like i said before, this is the 1st driver to actually work. All previous releases, including beta drivers have not worked. Any ideas or should I wait for new drivers and try them out?

I'm not sure why you can't set 1280x1024 but you might find a solution here - forums.nvidia.com/index.php?act=Search&CODE=show&searchid=fc6d2bda38f384438f4139435c9f6765&search_in=posts&result_type=topics&highlite=screen+resolution

Dale; Yes, they are Beta as somewhat clearly written on the page. 5th line from the top "Beta Driver"

Yes, my bad. I don't know how I kept missing that. I kept lookign when peopel said it was Beta, ut I kept going to the beta section and seeing the 101.40s.
I think they should have written Beta in Red for people like me who can't see the obvious.
"Jupiter Jones [MVP]"

I agree. It is somewhat clear as I stated but the word "Beta" should be more prominent. In red as you suggest would help. While Beta is acceptable for some, it is unacceptable for others.

Well....
I tried to install these drivers, Forceware 158.18. But the installer tells me I don't have Vista 32-bit. I keep double checking my system specs to make sure it says 32-bit on it.
I don't know what is up, I sent nVidia two notifications through the Vista Quality Assurance on nVidia's site. I have recieved no word wait.

Do you have a dual or single config. They were suppose to have fixed this issue with the 158.18s

The error message did not indicate which operating system (32-bit or 64-bit) is
installed. NVIDIA has fixed the installer error message to better tell the end user
which version of Windows Vista drivers and operating system are running.

I have a intgerated nVidia GeForce 6150 SE graphics card. I am going to try the new release, thanks.

omg, I am still recieving the Not-32 Vista error message. With the newly released, 158.24.
I do not get what is going on with my system. I KNOW I have Vista 32-bit. But the message persists.
Still any thoughts?

Afraid not, I know a while back I was helping a guy with a Nvidia card and Vista 32 and he got the same error messages. I never heard if he got it fixed.
My suggestion would be to un-install the current driver, if it's the Microsoft drivers, I would go in under device manager and choose rollback driver and check the option to delete the driver.
I looked over in the nVida forums on didn't find any answers. But a Google search says you'll get this on a laptop with a GO card. If that is the case, you'll need to get the drivers from your laptop maker

Hi, When you run the installer it unpacks the files to a folder (suggested during the setup process). Use device manager and use the "update driver" button, then point the wizard to look in that folder.

I realized the problem now... Some how the installer compatability mode was set to Windows XP S2 by default. So the error messages were because the installer thought it was installing on XP.
Thanks for the responses.
