Vista: ATI vs. Nvidia

Shame on you Nvidia for dropping support for my Geforce4 MX4000 videocard in Vista and letting me waste 2 nights of trying to find a solution on the net.

This card was doing an excellent job with all the linux beryl 3D goodies without a hinch.
All you had to do was change the .inf file to make this card work.

To make a long story short, I went out and spent $70.00 on an ATI 9600, 256 mb video card and downloaded the drivers from their site which installed without any problems and it works fantastic.


ATI:


ATI offcially supports the following Radeon cards for Vista:

Radeon 9500, 9559, 9600, 9700, 9800, x300, x550, x600, x700, x800, x850, x1300, x1600, x1650, x1800, x1900, x1950

It also supports All in Wonder, on board and Mobility cards: for more info and download of drivers look here:

Nvidia:

If you cannot make your Nvidia drivers work (forget about it when you have a 4 series) try the following and do not be mislead by the site name, they have desktop drivers as well.
