Default ForceWare Release 160.03

Just got my hands on the 32bit and 64bit drivers for Vista and the 64bit version for Windows XP 64bit. (32 bit release was posted here the other day)

They are dated the 27th April and other than that I don't really know at the moment as I haven't checked them out for myself yet.

http://www.electronicpunk.com/forceware/

Will be available there until "better" mirrors inevitably spring up.

Let me know your thoughts on them!

Its the same file from the thread in the "NVIDIA Forceware Drivers" section, grabbed it from the original post in that thread, was bored and thought I would complete the set.

These drivers (Vista x86) fixed a problem I've had with 158.24 and earlier drivers, specifically a black sky with HDR rendering enabled in Far Cry.

Didn't fix anything for me. Didn't break anything either though.
