I have dual BFG 7900 GT cards. I assume that they are Vista compatible. However, the current list was last updated in February.

According to BFG's website, the 7900 GT is "Built for Microsoft Windows Vista" so you should definately be in the clear. Microsoft has also updated their site to include the NVIDIA 7900 GPU's as well. On that note, an update to the hardware list that is considered Vista-ready follows in the next post.

Do you have the 256MB or 512MB cards? And may I ask what you do with that much video card power? I'm into graphics design, and I'm always looking for the next best card for what I do...though I have to admit, I hadn't gone for dual cards yet. Is that mostly a gaming thing? What monitor do you use?

Did you try downloading the latest driver from http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2...le_84.63.html? It might help.

Good to know. Thanks. The one on my new Gateway, which I'll be setting up on Saturday, is a GeForce 7600GS 256MB. The machine is supposed to be Vista Ready (Set, Go). But, assuming it is not directx 10 compatible, I'll be upgrading it soon, I think. I also want more MB.

This is part of an email I received from NVidia. I'll post it here for those who are thinking about purchaisng a graphic card.

NVIDIA® SLI™-Ready GeForce 8800 graphics processing units (GPUs), the world's first DirectX® 10 GPUs, feature a powerful unified architecture that delivers an incredibly true-to-life gaming experience. Power through games at record speeds. Charge through game maps with vividly realistic, sun-up to sun-down HDR lighting effects.

Any half-height AGP graphics cards that run Aero?
