Warp2Search reports the same . Actully, if you head over there you can download the drivers from nVidia's site already.

Official 56.64 forcewares were released.. Not 56.67. Close enough though.

These drivers have some good fixes. Splinter Cell PC shadow buffer mode is fixed. And the infamous image sharpening bug is fixed too. Other than that though, not much is different. I'll run some games to test them out.

I like how they added the rightclick on desktop option to take you right to the hardware's properties. ATi only has a stupid shortcut :|

Those drivers has also been repacked to 14megs at www.guru3d.com as well. They are considered beta so.. I do wonder what fixes they may contain.

Usually, when a driver set was modded so that it runs on all cards, I don't use it

Nice, this set works nice with my GF4 MX440, finally they made good drivers for all cards, however I noticed nVIDIA dropped a little note on their site saying that this set is not WHQL for TNT2, GF2 and GF3...
