NVIDIA: "We Underestimated Necessary Resources for Vista Driver Development"
Nothing better than reading an article with a bunch of unidentified
sources in it. Really makes me believe the credibility of the content. |

NVIDIA: "We Underestimated Necessary Resources for Vista DriverDevelopment"

Microsoft earned 12.5 billion on revenues of 44 billion last year... a 28% margin. Nvidia earned 500 million on revenues of 3 billion, a 14% margin. Vista is by most accounts a buggy, ****ed-up operating system, and the fact that big, fat Microsoft couldn't get it right is not mitigated by the corresponding fact that hardware vendors like Nvidia are struggling to come up with stable drivers.

It's one of the lamest excuses in software development history. Beta versions of Vista have been out for ages.... Management didn't allow developers to start on it soon enough. I hope a few of them get fired over this. |

Like ATI cards are worth are worth anything with Vista. They suck just as
bad as Nvidia. I thought Matrox went out of business last century? Glad to hear this is not a Vista problem as some here said it was and hoped it was.

It is not the drivers that suck. It is Vista that sucks.
I had more luck trying to run OS2 on the woefully underpowered 486 computers of that day than I have running Vista now. Vista is the worst product every issued by Microsoft, an unbelievable fiasco. |

Unstable Vista drivers were not the only problem. I
tested the 9xx drivers for XP for over a year, and nVidia refused to fix the obvious bugs. For one, you can't dial in custom settings using the 9xx drivers for XP. I would call nVidia tech support, and they would lie right in my face about it. I caught them on every single lie, and then they would try to turn it into a "stupid user" ploy. I caught them on that too, and proved to their tech guys that I was right, and even showed them a hack to make custom settings work. I also showed them how the 8xx drivers could do custom settings fine .. and the problem was exclusive to all of their 9xx drivers. Guess what ! The 9xx drivers for XP are still broke .. going on over a year now. johns |

The code between the graphics system of the of an operating system and the driver is all the same. The driver lies between the OS and the video card, and the driver is where people are having problems. Drivers are written by video card vendors, not Microsoft. Vista is the worst product every issued by Microsoft, an unbelievable fiasco. People said the same thing about XP at first. |

No. THey just realised there was no point in trying to compete in the 3D gaming market and carried on in the niche sector for which they were known. A good call IMO as it's saved them a ****load of money in R&D in a game they could never win. -- Conor Light travels faster than sound.
