    According to http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=36075

    They say that as of right now the drivers are not compatible.
    "This time we wanted to give roughly equal Nvidia and ATI cards a try on Vista. We changed our test machine to an Intel Core 2 duo 6700, the only dual core we have in lab. EVGA was kind enough to give us the Nforce 680i motherboard and we decided to use the Radeon X1950 XTX and the fastest single-core Nvidia 7900 GTX card. We simply cannot get the drivers for Geforce 8800 GTX or GTS. There is definitely something fishy going on with that card on the Vole's latest OS. The drivers are still far away, it seems. Nvidia overshadowed its great hardware launch with lack of either DirectX 10 demos or basic Vista drivers."
