Guru3d sent word that they have just posted the 43.51 WHQL Detonator drivers.
We have both Windows 98/ME and Windows 2000/XP available. Furthermore all nVidia graphics cards to date are compatible with these drivers and thus includes the newer GeForceFX 5200, 5600 and 5800 series.

Normally, I run the 30.82's because everytime I've tried a newer driver, they never performed any better and sometimes caused problems in my system with a Ti4200. I haven't tried any in a while, so I decided to give these a try. These new 43.51's just might get me to finally change from the old reliable 30.82's. The speed seems to be the same, but I notice that the picture quality is better and so far, no problems of any kind. Give'em a try if you haven't!

I'd be very interested in seeing some benchmark results of these compared to older drivers.

I guess its safe to put those rumors about NV30 + DX9 and WHQL certification to rest. ;)

I've been running the 43.51s for a while now(the non WHQL version with OCing in place) and haven't had any issues. Although, I didn't with the prior versions over. The AF performance is up quite a bit if you use the balanced setting, although it appears that the only difference is the filtering implementation utilized on lightmaps.
