Nothing for the 6600s then... damn.

Could be some undocumented changes though... :)

I find it funny the changelog didn't have for example "Added 8000GTS 320 MB support" like the release highlights.

But I expect most limitations are still in though... :( I checked that section ("Open Issues") in the PDF and that one still looks a bit sad...

silly question. I have a gforce fx5200. It is not listed as supported. does this mean I should toss that card sooner than later? It works fine with the vista drivers at the moment on the other hand.

I'd say wait until April/May, if NVIDIA doesn't support it by then then consider upgrading if you have problems with it.

NVIDIA's current top priority is 8 series, and some 7 and 6 series in their free time lol.

thanks for the quick reply. I will do just that.

lol, will they call each new version a beta version?

Afraid to call it a release, because then they have to support it :)

ok dont ask me why but:

These drivers are equally as disappointing as the previous releases. My NV Control panel doesn't even remember any of my settings upon restart. I have to go in and manually adjust all the gamma and brightness settings again. And still, no Digital Vibrance available to 8800 users. What is going on?

I fried my 6600GT the other day and had to throw in an old GeForce 4 ti4200 I still had. It's working great under Vista. I tried the included drivers and updated to the latest official release and everything is nice and smooth. Of course there's no Aero and the games I can play on this card are limited, but the ones I have tried run nicely.

I'm going to be upgrading my system when I get my tax return, hopefully they'll have this mess sorted out by then.
