yeah, 32bit so far :thumbdwn:

A plus of 0.01 can do wonders for a new ForceWare driver and that's exactly the case of the latest leaked versions. Found by the guys at Station-Drivers the ForceWare 174.13 beta driver is dated on February 10th and comes with support for quite a few very fresh green products including the GeForce 8200, 9200, nForce 730a, 750a and 780a IGPs plus the GeForce 9800 GX2. Also, there is a mention of a G92-420 (the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 is powered by the G92-400) and interestingly-enough no 9600 GT.

In all, the full support list of the ForceWare 174.13 includes:

NVIDIA_C77.DEV_0844.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 9200M"
NVIDIA_C77.DEV_0848.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 9200"
NVIDIA_C77.DEV_0849.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8200"
NVIDIA_C77.DEV_084A.1 = "NVIDIA nForce 730a"
NVIDIA_C77.DEV_084B.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8200 "
NVIDIA_C77.DEV_084C.1 = "NVIDIA nForce 780a SLI"
NVIDIA_C77.DEV_084D.1 = "NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI"
NVIDIA_C77.DEV_084F.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8100"
NVIDIA_G86.DEV_0421.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT"
NVIDIA_G86.DEV_0422.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS"
NVIDIA_G92.DEV_0604.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2"
NVIDIA_G92.DEV_0612.1 = "NVIDIA G92-420"
NVIDIA_G92.DEV_0613.1 = "NVIDIA G92"
NVIDIA_G98.DEV_06E0.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 9400"
NVIDIA_G98.DEV_06E1.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GS"
NVIDIA_G98.DEV_06E2.1 = "NVIDIA G98"
NVIDIA_G98.DEV_06E4.1 = "NVIDIA G98 "
NVIDIA_G98.DEV_06E8.1 = "NVIDIA NB9M-GE"
NVIDIA_G98.DEV_06E9.1 = "NVIDIA NB9M-GS"

That is due to it not being supported in the INF (see above)
You need to mod the INF or grab a modded INF to install these.
Or just force it install as another GPU closest to yours.

What is the 780a?
Did they integrate something I don't really want?

This driver must be for testing integrated Sli ?
In the INF are Hybrid SLi settings.

The 780a Sli may have 3 way SLi and have a 3rd slot

780a is a new AMD chipset based on 780 with integrated GPU for hybrid SLI.

also it has power saving move, when in desktop it uses integrated GPU to save power, once game kicks in real GPU kicks in.

Will give that one a miss then.

Alienware's new Lappy already has this.
That explains it.

Having issues with it switching out of sleepy more with newer drivers
It so far needs the original INF to work
