just tried it, but no had to reboot again whilst installing the drivers for me. second time was a charm. no noticable performance difference. but they added a few most custom resolutions. unfortunately not the ones i can do 1:1 pixel mapping on my mce.

anyone found a hack to do custom resolutions/timings ?? I know the driver doesnt support it.

Have these drivers added support for TV out (more to the point component out)

It's been my experience (and from what I've read others' on this site), that despite there being no tv-out screens, component is enabled by default. Just go to the standard Windows resolution screen to change the resolution of the output (I'm doing 720x576 50hz interlaced - they call it 25hz interlaced).

yeah sadly though with default output no drivers for 6200 on agp I get a component picture, instlal the drivers and I get no picture on the TV screen and no option to enable it in the drivers.

these drivers has the same issue as the original windows ones where TV in mce is jittery/jerky, however when i tried the RC1 drivers, that fixed the issue, go figure!

Im using a 6600 gt and fusionhdtv with the latest 3.41 driver.

cheers

Yep I agree, the RC1 drivers work better for me in both MCE and Games.

In MCE the screen is jittery or flashes white and games get run time errors on my 6800GS.

I had no prob's at all (other than lack of controls/features) with the RC1 drivers.

I am thinking of trying Windows XP drivers with Vista - are there any reports of success doing this?

More specifically the latest XP MCE drivers, 91.47 or the latest ForceWare/PureVideo HD beta driver: 92.91.

I am not playing games - Would this work?

Hi,

I upgraded my machine from RC1 -> RC2 with a 6600gt/hdmi/720p setup. And found the new drivers supplied automatically by Microsoft work really well. These new default drivers allowed me to do all the inbetween resolutions on HDMI (so I can now do the 1166x6XX res I needed for my TV to not lose bits of the screen). I never had any luck with NVidias own drivers (havent tried rc2 nvidia ones).
