Hi there!
I have a GFX 5200 (see signature below for detailed info). I recently upgraded to it and the CD contains 62.11 which obviously r verry primitive. So, I scoured thru ASUS's download site and found that they r only offering 71.89 for my card even when 78.01 was available. Then I downloaded both. 71.89 has a WHQL drv for my card while 78.01 dosen't! How can they do that!! And all nVidia says is that there have been no changes from some previous forceware! when I tried to see which card's drivers had WHQL certification, it turned out that every card above the FX series had WHQL drivers and those below FX (including FX) diden't! Why do they say that it's WHQL then anyway??

Well, I recently saw a post in this forum that 81.95 are out and I don't know wether or not I should upgrade to them as I fear that they will also not have a WHQL'ed driver for my card. PLEASE help me and tell me which forceware drivers are correct for me! Should I stay with 71.89 or upgrade to 81.95??

is it really important to you to have WHQL drivers? if not, go ahead and get new drivers. If it is, then dont.
I hardly think new drivers will give you mad FPS with a fx5200 anyway...
