Writing Vista drivers seems to be a bigger
problem than anybody could anticipate. A few weeks ago, ATI had a major embarrassment
when users found out that the X1950 GT won't work with driver version 7.2. ATI dug itself out of the mud and Nvidia fell into
the same pit.
The new 8x00 series from Nvidia has arrived,
and all that reviewers can do with the new cards is take photos of them. Vista drivers are unfortunately still not
fully ready.
ATI cards have Windows Vista certificate logo and at the same time X1950GT doesn't work with
Vista, even with the new drivers people are moaning about various blue screens
of death.
New 8x00 series will come
out with a BIG "Vista ready" logo, but we are wondering will it
really ready, or "ready".
