Just received 8800gt (older mac pro version) NO BOOTCAMP SUPPORT!!

My card cannot be recognized by Vista. This problem has just popped up on xlr8yourmac with quite a few people and the beta drivers seem to work in XP. I have tried every beta driver recommended on the site. None of them can even detect I have an nvidia card in my system.

Not impressed apple. Release drivers with products when you ship them for all situations and models.

I just received and installed my 8800GT in my original 2.66 quad Mac Pro. I am running Vista 64 for my bootcamp OS. The 169.25 drivers didn't work, but I downloaded the 174.74 betas from Nvidia's site and they work like a charm.
