^^ I suspect that changelog is including the December release changes.

The re-release was to fix a bug with direct access to the monitor settings within the nvidia control panel.

*Removed the Direct Access functionality from the driver user interface.

Looks to me like there was just this change in this February release.

I will so not bother to download this one for that fix. :)

What was nVidia's problem calling this 81.99? :rolleyes:

"Re-release" a driver over a month later without changing the version. Clever. It will never confuse, nVidia.

I totally agree with you on that. A bug fix should warrant at least a xx.x1 change to the driver number. Worthless download to almost everyone.
