Hey guys. I've been running vista for a few weeks now and I have a 7900gt pci-e card in my machine. Under xp I never saw any of this but now under vista I have all kinds of artifacts in CS:S and BF2. In CS:S they go away if i play the game in a window rather than fullscreen. And in BF2 they show up in all of the menus when you first start the game, but not actually in the game itself. Any ideas?

1. problematic drivers

2. game incompabilities

i recently ran CS:S on Vista and it worked fine. try using forceware 97.34.

Quote from Nvidia:

Due to rigorous testing requirements to ensure stability and optimal performance, Vista drivers for GeForce cards are still in QA. Our driver team and test labs must ensure compatibility across multiple platforms and hundreds of applications, a process that takes several weeks to complete. Please keep in mind that Windows Vista will not be available to end-users until the end of January. We'd like to assure you that Vista drivers for the GeForce cards will be available to download when Vista ships to end users at the end of January.

I have installed Forceware 81.97 and have high FPS.
