A...Then the bug was probably in the NVIDIA drivers. As of Windows Vista, it uses the User-Mode Driver Framework, so if an error occurs, it can restart the driver without restarting the system (BSOD, etc).<BR/><BR/>Of course, there is a performance hit to having video, audio and such drivers (mostly) in userland. Context switches between user and kernel mode can be a bit taxing on the system, that's why Vista seems to take a 10% or so performance hit in most graphical benchmarks. But if you ask me, it's totally worth it.<BR/><BR/>In time, the performance hit won't be noticeable, and vendors will improve their drivers, and you'll end up with a more stable system overall.cmihaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014247302155057225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36470398.post-34648490724752727422008-02-19T03:21:00.000+02:002008-02-19T03:21:00.000+02:00funny how we hit the same problems at nearly the s...funny how we hit the same problems at nearly the same time :P<BR/>the mplayer things sucks bad ass - got an nvidia card to (8600gs). gl/gl2 works fine with mplayer standalone. also, no reboot is required for vista 32bit after updating drivers... one of my first vista bugs was a crashing display driver. screen went black, reloads a couple of time, and is fine again - pretty impressiveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
