#63991 Posted on: 02/08/2006 12:57 PM That's exactly what I was wondering. I've has the 81.98 drivers since December. And I downloaded them from nVidia's driver web page.

#63996 Posted on: 02/08/2006 04:19 PM For curiousity I've re-downloaded 81.98, and found that to be different from the earlier release. The filesizes are different, and the digital timestamp is different, too. One is 2nd Feb 2006, and the other on 15th Dec 2005. My guess is that the two 81.98 are identical, but the Feb one has included support for newer cards, and was resent for WHQL certification.

#64009 Posted on: 02/08/2006 10:57 PM They have a 82.92 beta driver on nZone that supports the newer 6800GS AGP, I wonder if this newer 81.98 supports the 6800GS AGP as well?
