As some may have noticed, the recent driver releases don't clock speed down properly after closing down games.
There is altso an issue with the driver bumping up speed when users open applications, and by using the Aero taskbar in the way where you can see your open programs. The problem is that something in the driver conflicts (maybe with a function in the D3D module), and slows down the DWM detection / Desktop Composition 3D. At some point it gets detected, and the driver slows the card down as supposed, it's just not fast enough. |

Nvidia Ready for Windows 7? because of DX10, the DWM will now use the same consistent amount of system memory no matter how many windows are open.

That is true. I'm not sure wether Nvidia is ready for Windows 7 or not, but I do really know about the new DX11 video cards. Nvidia already have many problems with windows 7 compatiblility. This is enough head ache for Nvidia developers. Now let's see what they will manage to do with DX11 additional to windows 7 problems and how quick they will solve those issues.
