Nvidia driver problem with win 7 x64?
Hi,
I did quite a bit of looking around and there seem to be lots of people with Nvidia problems in Win 7, however not exactly what I'm seeing.
Here's my setup:
Core 2 Duo E6400
Abit AB9Pro Mobo
Leadtek Nvidia 8800 GTS
3GB RAM
2x150GB WD HDD -> RAID0
Win 7 Ultimate x64 RTM
First off when I ran the "Windows Experience Index" I get a 5.7 rating for "gaming graphics" but only a 1.0 for graphics (Areo performance)
Along with that I am noticing "slowness" with desktop and IE rendering performance. For example it takes a long time to browse to a new page (much longer than it did under vista) or to even open a new blank tab. I have also noticed slow performance with the built in games. When dealing cards for solitare, the dealing animation "stutters" and when starting mine sweeper, the animation of the board being drawn "stutters" too.
I had this behavior with the Nvidia 191.07 drivers so I decided to give the Nvidia beta 195.39 drivers a try. They too show the same problem.
Anyone have any suggestions what I can do to get things working better? Is anyone else seeing this with a similar (or different) configuration?
Oh, I should also mention that I upgraded to the latest BIOS for my mobo as suggested elsewhere and that did not help either.
TIA for any and all help!
