Default NGO Forceware 163.71?
Are we likely to see a tweaked version of the most recent WHQL Forceware 163.71 drivers soon?

I'd really love to see them tweaked as your drivers are the best around and I've been stuck with the nVidia release for a while now

What’s New in Version 163.71
New Features
• Improved compatibility with PT Boats: Knights of the Sea
• Added NVIDIA SLI profile for Team Fortress 2
that is what i found in the changelog
so the question is it worth optimizing for such little changes?

unless you play those games and have SLI, it would make no differnece to get them optimized

regen is really good about getting them out, and the performance differences will make it worth the wait.

the only factor is NVIDIA, and how fast they can improve things, which i wish otherwise, is very slow to do anything at all.

Only the important changes are listed, the rest go into that awkward PDF of nv.
Some changes are not documented at all, like performance regressions for previous generation cards on winxp (and later on fixing it).

Think I spoke too soon. They've just released Forceware 163.75 with half-life 2 episode 2 improvements so its not worth doing 163.71 anymore
