New official beta forceware from Nvidia.
Quite a few bug fixes in this one.
Download XP Drivers Here.
Download Vista Drivers here (ones they took down, but they're mirrored there)
They apparently pulled the Vista driver off of their official site because of some issue (I think it might have been a Lost Planet issue) but the driver fixes so many other things that I think its work downloading it for XP or Vista.
Vista drivers are mirrored above at planet3dnow.de.
BTW, finally fixes wide screen flat panel scaling (according to them).
Wonder if it really fixed it.
(why isn't quote working?, wait, I think I got it working)
