7900GS, no drivers yet

Darkman9999 · 2006-06-08 10:51:50

Whats the story with the new PCIe Nvidia 7900GS. Let me assure you it does exist but only in Dells at the mo but its still not recognised by anybody. Nvidia forceware doesn't support it and there are no driver updates available. Most benchmark programs recognise it as a generic VGA adapter. Hopefully theres an end in sight…

The Forceware 91.28 has it listed in the .inf

NVIDIA_G71.DEV_0292.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS"

Do you have a 7900GS to test and do the above drivers work with it ?

7900GS -- I'm guessing it's an OEM-only thing, which is cheaper than a GT, but can be used by Dell to hype their XPS line as having 7900's in SLI (as I saw in one of those leaflets they chuck into newspapers this morning).
