    The N9260 uses 2 Nvidia Go 7950GTX in sli. But there isn't a driver for it on Vista yet. Does anyone know when Nvidia will release the new drivers for these cards to work in SLI?

    I heard there should be mature drivers available in June; Nvidia can't afford to hold out much longer.

    Not a notification exactly; however I do think there will be a bit of fanfare following the release of the Vista SLI drivers on the Internet so just watch the tech sites - the ones I check everyday are:
    www.dailytech.com
    www.tgdaily.com
    www.hexus.net

    The latest desktop beta supports SLi for DX10 and DX9 in Vista, possibly OpenGL as well, but I'm not sure. But the notebook drivers aren't always right there with the desktop ones.

    Like NVIDIA once said, when they make drivers, it's like making six. DX9, DX10, OpenGL, and SLi for those three. So development is slow.
