Looks like they're seperating the difference Geforce cards into 6, 7
and 8 series instead of one download does all.

Thanks for the heads up.

Cal:
I successfully installed the drivers on Vista x64 with a 7600GT card.
My son is happily playing FSX.
No problems so far.
No performance differences can be noticed.
Windows Performance Rating remained the same (4.6 for Graphics and 4.8 for
3D)

Unfortunately, the sleep/hibernate problem is back with these.

d/l install went OK - GeForce 6800
Graphics rating stayed @ 5.9
3D/Gaming from 4.8 > 4.6

I see no difference in performance

6600GT running 64 bit Vista...driver downloaded and installed without a
hitch.
Performance Index..graphics went from 5.3 to 5.4 Game went from 4.6 to 4.9
plays slightly better....have to pay close attention to see the difference.

Past experience NVidia drivers = fix one thing, break something else

BSOD after an hour playing Battlefield 2. Wasn't there with 101.41.
Can't use 101.70 cos I get jerkovision video playback on my TV card in
WMC.

I suspect that's just until they fix all the DX10 problems then they'll go
back to a unified release again.

I'm using the x64 Vista 8800 series drivers fine with a GeForceGO 7600
laptop by editing the .INF file, because Vida have never done a single Vista
x64 release for the GeForceGO yet and you really don't want to know how bad
the 7600 drivers are from MS, my laptop graphics rating went from 1.0 to 5.9
when I changed drivers
