Asus 7900gs with vista

[superman22x]

Hi, I just bought an asus 7900gs, and it came with some software, like drivers, but it also came with some utilities, but when I try and run them it says I need to have service pack installed. But I have vista and their is no service pack. What do I do?

They won't be Vista compatible so forget about it.

Ok, I also wanted to know how do I overclock it? I downloaded coolbits, but I dont know how to use it now that its in the registry.

I'm not sure of the use of Coolbits, Riva Tuner and so forth under Vista, as far as I know Riva Tuner doesn't run under Vista (unless unwinder has released a new Vista compatible version in the last few days)

I will check Guru3D forums for any threads and link you if I find any answers.

Once you enable it in the registry (assuming you did it correctly), there should be an OC option when you go into the Display Properties/Advanced button.

Ok, tell me what you find. Thanks

My patience is over. I'm giving final warning for all Vista guys, ignoring documentation, search and spamming the same questions again and again. I repeat it last time, and will simply remove or close any new Vista related thread or question:

Don't expect full Vista support till OFFICIAL Vista sales start in the end of JANUARY.

I guess that is that for Vista support in Riva Tuner.

It is all I use for XP so I can't really help with the others, also there is nothing on Guru3D that anyone has mentioned that is successful under Vista. Searching for a result in Google also brings up lots of threads saying Coolbits 2.0 doesn't work with Vista

Doesn't he have to be a moderator to close a thread though? Who's Unwinder;2044547? I've been out for a couple of days so CF must have promoted somebody again to be mod.

No, I think thats from a different forum. Well, I'll just wait til Jan, to OC my card.

Unwinder is the guy on Guru3D (where he is a Mod) who writes the code for Riva Tuner, Riva Tuner = Unwinder.
