GeForce 8800.

**SOgLak** · 03-02-2007, 12:20 AM

I don't have that page...

and yes, my drivers are up-to-date.

**Hoijdxvh** · 03-02-2007, 12:24 AM

I upgraded yesterday from the latest version on the nvidia website.

**loolitoertego** · 03-02-2007, 12:25 AM

The option appears in the Help but not in the actual nvidia control panel

Oops.

Oops. What the hell is 7.15?

100.65 is the latest.

100.65 is the latest. It's the old version, that's why I thought it was odd.

Well the desktop arrived all of five days ago and everything ran like a dream, so they must have been working

**valiumcheapll** · 03-02-2007, 12:37 AM

I only have 2x 8800 GTS's (only 640MB each)

**AlekseyZubkov** · 03-02-2007, 12:42 AM

Nope.

**Broker15015** · 03-02-2007, 12:44 AM

Where did you get it from?

Look at the last 3 numbers. That is the latest. Look at the Driver Date for another clue.

/me whacks you with the cluebat.

**TOPERink** · 03-02-2007, 12:55 AM

No.

**DavidQD** · 03-02-2007, 12:57 AM

Ah, it probably has to do with Nvidia not having proper SLI support in Vista yet.
