Great, another driver for two cards that very few people owns. Modded INF again until nVidia releases anything for everybody. Damn I miss Catalyst.

Even if it wasn't a big surprise, considering the leaked driver for just 9800 GX2 and 9800 GTX, it is a big dissapointment.

Common NVidia, get drivers out for the old cards.

Yea, this is getting retarded. Nvidia is turning into a bunch of scumbags. Wtf I can put a modded inf in there, why cant they just support all the cards? Wth ever happened to unfied drivers? And so much for the drivers ever month. Lying ****s.

Run modified inf and you should be fine. I agree, Forceware turned out to be the biggest crap.

I thought NVIDIA touted there drivers as "Unified". This breaks that trend.

Even with the modified inf's, I've been having consistent issues with all the past 174.xx drivers with certain games and AA. The game I experienced the flashing and flickering was Command and Conquer 3, and this would eventually lead towards a BSOD (with the display off). We really need a official WHQL/Candidate to appear for the other cards, all we have now are betas and leaks...

I guess these new video enhancements aren't for 8800 users? Dynamic contrast was meant to be in 174.xx for ages but there was never anythign in my control panel.

theres hope. nvidia just sent me their best survey ever today they acknowledged that their drivers didn't have enough features (among other flaws that don't matter to me, but might to you) it was quite miraculous and i told them so and praised them.
