WHQL certification is a load of ********!
I had my suspicions before but now I am certain that Microsoft WHQL
certification is a joke. How much does Microsoft charge for certifying drivers anyway? One penny would be too much because the latest Vista64 driver from nvidia effs up my CRT monitor. Obviously they were only ever tested with an LCD at 60hz. Every time I change the resolution these drivers cause my monitor to lose vertical sync and go into a fit. Things like this can actually damage hardware. I had to go get the drivers that EVGA has for Vista64. They worked with no issues at all on the same CRT. It's hard to believe Vista has been out this long and nvidia still can't get a handle on the driver aspect of things. Good hardware is no good with ****ty drivers. |

Newest one's from nvidia will not allow me to set anything higher then 60hz FP Monitor. At 1024x768 I set it for 75hz but it won't allow it. Keeps going back to 60 Maybe I should have stayed with ATI |

The images are crisper and cleaner. The zoom feature on the LCD actually works as if it is off this time! Everything seems to be moving faster and smoother. Even games look more detailed. I like it. |

WHQL certification is a load of ********!
Usually when the word "certification" is used, the certifying authority is a
well-respected organization (ISO, CSA, JEDEC, etc.) Microsoft isn't known for producing stable, bug-free software, so a Microsoft certification is quite worthless. Recall the certified 8x.xx XP 32-bit drivers that were killing select LG and Samsung monitors through a new "Direct Access" feature. Did you try a different monitor timing mode (CVT, DMT, GTF, etc.)? -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

No, but think I will stay with the EVGA recommended driver for now. I don't have a monitor .inf file so that may be the reason too. One I have on disk won't load on Vista64. But if older drivers don't cause this issue then new ones shouldn't either. I loaded the latest XP nvidia driver on the same hardware and had no issue, it's just the Vista6 one that is causing it. Now way these should have got WHQL certification. If they damaged my CRT I would sue them for damages in small claims court. Might be a good for the Judge Judy show. |

You misunderstand WHQL certification. It's about software compatibility, not supporting cheap **** monitors which can't even pass timing info over the VGA connection properly. -- Conor It arrived at their repair center last week so only another month or so to wait |

t... You misunderstand WHQL certification. It's about software compatibility, not supporting cheap **** monitors which can't even pass timing info over the VGA connection properly. That's funny, all the other drivers work fine. Explain that dumbass. And we are talking about a top end Trinitron CRT and not some POS LCD that displays blacks as some sort of muddy grey. Nimrod. |
