They are WHQL certified but only the international one not the English only. For some reason it appears that help files need to be multilingual to get the driver certified. |

What do you think of this one: They only had the international one certified, stripped the multilingual help files (and modified the nv4_disp.inf accordingly). All these 'modifications' made the certification 'invalid'. |

dude, the game rocks, i accidentally checked it out on saturday and as they said: it doesn't work properly with the 53.03 and it did with the (supplied) 56.56
and yes, it does seem to work ok for me with the 56.64  |

Seem pretty good so far. They fix the image sharpening bug (the one that RivaTuner recently fixed) so text is now clear and shadow buffers in Splinter Cell are now working correctly. Performance seems about the same. |

what do you by "what do you think of this one"? DooGie in fact is correct. Only nvidia's multilingual drivers are WHQL certified which means that the WHQL certification checks the size and CRC hashes of several files including "nv4_disp.inf" to grant this certification. When nvidia now removes several help files and adjust the nv4_disp.inf file accordingly, the WHQL is rejected. Nothing unsual about this. |

Sorry, but for the models listed in the * footnote converning WHQL, either driver package is not WHQL for those models -- I tried them both with my old GeForce2 GTS and both are reported as not signed. |

jup, Forceware drivers are no longer WHQL certified for above GF FX models. Also nothing unususal with that
i just wanted to add that this multilingual removal makes them no longer WHQL certified when installed, the drivers itself of course remains as stable as they were before. |

DooGie said multilingual files are needed for WHQL, I do not know if that is true (but I do not think so) I meant: in this case only the international was send in for WHQL certification. By removing international files WHQL-certification is ‘invalid’ (as you also said). |

well, ok more precisely: Multilingual files are not mandatory for a WHQL certification but nvidia only sends multilingual drivers to the WHQL labs for cetification and therefore only get WHQL certification for multilingual drivers. |
