For all those people who have upgraded there PC's and motherboards you better not read this.

http://www.nvidia.com/page/technology_vista_home.html

From my understanding the people who have the GPU's

NVIDIA desktop GPUs
"Windows Vista Ready:"

GeForce 7950 GX2 GPUs
GeForce 7900 GPUs
GeForce 7800 GPUs
GeForce 7600 GPUs
GeForce 7300 GPUs
GeForce 6800 GPUs
GeForce 6600 GPUs
GeForce 6500 GPUs
GeForce 6200 GPUs
GeForce 6100/6150 GPUs
GeForce FX 5900 GPUs
GeForce FX 5700 GPUs
GeForce FX 5600 GPUs
GeForce FX 5500 GPUs
GeForce FX 5200 GPUs
GeForce PCX GPUs

You won't need to upgradr your graphics card. I could have missed read the artical mind you.

Excellent find but...not a word about them being DirectX 10 compliant.
We'll have to wait for those, I didn't think anyone would be able to do it with just new drivers.

Good find Thumbs Up!

DX10 is a totally new way of graphic manipulation in PCs.At the moment DX9 uses both the CPU and GFX card to render and produce smooth GFX
DX10 mainly uses the GFX card
This means programs have to be written with DX10 in mind

Which asks another question Shocked If FSX is comming out late OCT 06 and DX10 next year with Vista,what about those who buy FSX as soon as its out,will they Umm... We Embarassed be having to patch FSX to run on Vista?
And we will all need Vista(remember the blurb when FSX first hit the headlines.....Enhanced graphics with Vista)

Sorry for chucking a spanner in the works,but ive always been cautious where M/S concerned Rolling Eyes
