Keep your Windows 7 Graphics Driver up to date

If you have download Windows 7 RC or are downloading it, you might want to check out the latest version of ATi and nVidia’s graphics drivers for the new OS. The new drivers support WDDM 1.1 for Windows 7, so don’t bother installing Windows Vista’s graphic drivers as they might cause instability and you wont get the full benefits of WDDM 1.1 from your Direct X 10 graphics card.

Remember to back up your data and create a System Restore point before trying out these drivers as they aren’t final yet and miss some functionality as well.
