As reported 2 builds ago, for whatever reason, my systerm slows to beyond a crawl when the drivers for the graphics card are installed.
And now with 5381 the problem seems to remain, even though there are newer-than-5308 beta ati drivers within build 5381.
Upon installation everything drops to around 1 frame every 20 seconds...

Builds i've had this problem with :
5308
5342
5365
5381

I've tried everything imaginable... and nothing seems to work.
My system is as follows :

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
Asus A8N32-Sli Deluxe
2gb Corsair dual channel DDR (have another 2gb of mushkin which i've tried and same prob)
Sapphire Radeon X1900XTX 512mb
Using the onboard sound on this motherboard since i put the XFi in my newer rig.
Two 200gb ide drives (in partitions of 40gb), and a dvd writer

Any ideas guys?

I didnt look it up, But is your Graphics card an SLI card or are you using a PCI? I have heard of problems with SLI

PCI-e 'slave' card, it can be sli'd (crossfired) with a master card of the same ilk, but i don't see a reason why it on it's own would cause the problem.

i would stick with the OS supplied gpu drivers for now. it's too beta still, even though ATI is a step ahead, vista driver wise, atm.

[asuga]

the only os supplied drivers that work are the 'Generic VGA' ones, which kinda defeats the point, the os-supplied ati drivers has the exact same problem as the 5308 driver from ati's site.

Okay, my boyfriend just finnished installing it on his machine and he has the same problem,
his system is :

Athlon FX60
Asus A8R-MVP
3gb gskill DDR
Crossfired ATI X1900XTX 512mb (Master and slave)
Creative XFi Elite Pro
3 120gb sata driver
Terratec 2400DTi tv tuner (no working drivers for vista)
dual layer dvd-+r

Exact same problem as me.. it's as if X1900*** + Vista = No worky. :/
