    I'm a little behind on the Vista side of things, has anyone found a driver yet for the 8600gt gddr3 besides factory that won't kill the performance? (worth asking anyway :)

    thanks!

    Asus released a new driver that worked with it, It should be on their website.

    @halfhalo......you have a much different card than I do....we use different drivers....the gddr3 card that I have responds differently. If I used those LV2Go drivers my performance would drop in half. That's why I put gddr3 in the post heading.

    I found a driver on Asus site and it's for G2SG V7.15.11.6749 2007/12/21 update, too bad we don't have GDDR3 card anymore to try but I did try it on V1S and it worked, maybe you can try on your C90S:

    Does that driver have an issue with performance? Does it allow overclocking?
