    Anyone try the new 175.19 nvidia driver?

    I've noticed a 5 - 10FPS increase in CoD4 and a faster loading time in BF2 now that I use this driver. Try it out for yourself.

                    They will be releasing the final ones for the 8' series too, right?

                      i think you can mod some of the drivers to make them work with 8800s

                        Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I guess they just wanted to make sure it worked properly for the high-end cards before implementing it on the weaker ones, as the new cards usually have the highest priority.

                        Although, I don't know exactly how beneficial the physx drivers would be. Apparently some benchmarks claim that there's an increase in FPS in Crysis when using the physx drivers, but Crysis doesn't even use physx, it uses it's own physics engine so I'm kind of confused on that part....
