Has anyone had any experience with this card under Vista in SL? If so, good or bad?

As its now any Nvidia 6800+ should have it easy with Vista & Secondlife since the openGL been around longer and somewhat better working then Ati's, so yeh you shouldnt have much issues.

Remember Vista wants insane amount of ram compared to XP tho ,
Windows xp + SL recommend ~ 2gig ram
Windows Vista + SL id recommend least 3-4gig ram

If youre under 1 gig ram stick with XP

So far ive run Vista and these cards on some of my pc's , none had any issues really
6800gt 128mb agp | a3500+ | 2gig ram | to little ram really -.-
6800gt 128mb pci-e | a3800+ | 2gig ram | raaam
7900gt 256mb pci-e | x2-4200+ | 4gig ram | decent
8800gt 500m 320mb pci-e | x2-5200+ | 4gig ram | not much fps diffrence from one above

(SL still uses cpu alot more then gpu)
