Nvidia's ForceWare graphics drivers for Windows Vista recently received certification from Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs, but the drivers still suffer from a number of problems that have yet to be ironed out. Nvidia has informed us of a particular issue that causes incorrect antialiasing modes to be enabled on systems running Nvidia's latest GeForce 8800 cards. The drivers apply 16X coverage sampling antialiasing (CSAA) when the user selects regular 4X antialiasing in some games, resulting in lower-than-expected performance. (Although 16x CSAA hardly brings GeForce 8800 cards to a crawl.)
