Vista fallout begins
Looks like I'm not the only one who had graphics problems with Vista. News sites are beginning to pick up the fact that certain graphics cards simply lack vista drivers />
I think the larger problem will lack of support for the Nforce3 chipset, Nvidia already announced that they would not be supporting Nforce2 but the fact is that Nforce3 drivers still are missing as well.
Here is the thing: Even this plays out with Nvidia (eventually) releasing drivers/fixes, its a huge black eye on them and will steer their most profitable customers (people who build their own rigs and buy their high end cards) to AMD/ATI.
I think the fact that a lot of AGP stuff is broken under Vista will come as a rude surprise to many people -- there is a huge installed base out there (myself included) which see no reason as yet to switch to PCI.
