Is it working fine for you?
How about the drivers?
Did you experience BSOD?
Please reply if you're using a fx driver on windows 7

Windows 7 Ultimate build 6956 and build 7000
I have exactly the same video card on my WORK PC. Runs Aero fine in the Vista Ultimate O/S.

A cpl weeks ago I repartitioned my HDD, and on the new E Drive, installed RC Windows 7.

When I first booted in to Windows 7, no Aero. Windows Update then automatically set off to see if there were any Updates available and downloaded driver WDDM NVIDIA 7.14.10.9687 (a 32MB download), set a restore point, installed, I rebooted and now no problem with Aero, all good.

I have not had a BSOD on this PC or my home PC which is running RC W7 also, but with a different graphic card...

Try doing a search for available updates thru Windows Update...that's my suggestion anyway.

Good luck

I had FX5200, worked flawlessly :D

Here the link to nVidia with the driver you need: ForceWare Release 95

It's for Vista, but you can use that one. Just in case, you might want to run the setup in compatibility mode for Vista.

Driver sets that worked for me with a Geforce FX 5900 & Win7 Ultimate were 158.18 & 163.11. Newer sets did not work, but I didn't test them all. Omega's Vista drivers (169.09/25) did not work. Only simple mods to add dev id are required in two files:

nv_disp.inf
Code: 
[NVIDIA.Mfg.NTx86.6.0]
%NVIDIA_NV35.DEV_0332.1%  = nv_NV3x,      PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0332   ;5900XT

[Strings]
; Localizable Strings
NVIDIA_NV35.DEV_0332.1  = "NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900XT"
modes.txt
Code: 
[nv_SoftwareDeviceSettings]

// 0332 - NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900XT
The results:

I also installed ntune 5.50.54.00. Hope this is of use.

These may be the same mods that Mobility Modder made, which made things work on my system.

Geforce GTX 8800 or monitor probs

I Have a GTX 8800 GPU card and running my PC on a Philips FlatTV and running Windows 7 32bit.
I don't know which it is the GPU or the Monitor that's not allowing me to change the resolution from 800x600. when I go to Control Panel - adjust screen resolution, the resolution tab is just like it's blocked, I can't move it any way. The monitor is set on 75Hertz and True Color (32bit).
Have you got any answer/s?

I'm not sure.. The thing is. My monitor is set to general php (or something like that). What I need it to be, is a general non-php (something...)
