Dated 11/6, posted yesterday I believe, whql drivers, 163.75

In the release notes, it mentions something about improved performance for
8800 series cards, both non sli and sli.
Something to do with improved gpu memory mgmnt.

I only got to briefly test for a takeoff and climbout, can not say for sure,
but I think my performance is slightly improved. I might can tell more with
more testing, but am leaving tomorrow for about 9 days, get to return home
Sunday afternoon but leave again on Monday morning for the week.

Just wanted to give a heads up new drivers are out.

It's as certain as death and taxes that there'll always be a new Nvidia
driver out! Smile

My son got a BSOD playing Starwars Jedi Academy game on one of the 169
betas so it came straight off my system. Unfortunately the proper
driver together with reinstalling the game hasnt corrected a sudden
jerky gameplay no matter what resolution etc on the game or settings
in the driver profile. AA seems wrecked in the game as everything is
very jaggy. Before the crash we had it set for everything on max and
it looked and ran well.
