Amazes me how they add the lines "support for 6/7/..." - these fresh drivers are almost always awful for older cards.

Wonder if there is any worthwhile difference in Vista. If the performance is getting close to XP it might convince me to go back.

I don't personally think the performance is quite there yet..

Give it some more time!
