Today Tweakforce releases the Xtreme-G 177.41 Display Drivers for Windows Vista and XP Operating Systems. This driver is recommended to all 9 series and GTX2xx series users. The XG177.41 driver has included support for all desktop cards, however due to the premature release of the CUDA PhysX Support, 8 series users are recommended to stay with the XG175.63 Driver until PhysX is officially supported for your GPU. Thank You for your continued support and as always your constructive feedback is appreciated.

So...according to your disclaimer, if I've got an 8800GTX or two, (and I do), I ought to NOT give these drivers a spin because of the PhysX aspect?
Aren't these great drivers (across the board) all on their own, despite any PhysX compatibility issues/shortcomings?
And thanks for the fine work, by the way.
Peace.
P.S.
Don't know if this should affect my decision, but I *have* been using the XG175.16s up until the official 175.19s came out last week. From everything I've read in the "New Drivers" threads, though, the 177.41s outshine everything else thus far, que no? <stymied>

In testing a few 8 series users (g92 and g80) had problems with crashing and other driver related bsod's while the driver ran great for 9 and 2xx series cards. _________________ Intel i7 950

These are running really nicely for me so far. The original driver didn't work that well for me in Vista, but this one is great. I tried several mp maps in CoD4 where I normally got some slowdowns and they're totally gone now. Great work! _________________ Intel i5 750 | MSI P55 GD65 | 8GB G.Skill PC3-16000 | Zotac GeForce GTX 285 AMP! | Auzentech X-Fi Forte

This set was tweaked for image quality. Adjustments to area anisotropic filtering and other code based tweaks are added to our sauce. _________________ Intel i7 950
