Default GeForce 7950 GT OC and 64-bit Drivers

I'm building a system using a combination of new parts and parts I already
have. It'll have:

New - Asus Crosshair V Formula Z
New - AMD FX AM3+ 64-bit processor (not sure which one yet)
New - 8 GB of RAM

Old - GeForce 7950 GTOC w/ 512 MB (PCIe)

So I was checking to make sure I can get 64-bit drivers with all my
hardware before I actually choose the 64-bit version of Windows 8. I
checked the Nvidia site and found that for the 64-bit Win8 driver, the
GeForce 7 list doesn't go anywhere near the 7950 GTOC, but then neither
does the list for WinXP. Is the 7950 included in some other model number,
like maybe is the 7950 some vamped up version of the 7650 GT, perhaps?

When I pick the 7950GTOC driver for WinXP, this is the "compatible cards"
list that comes up, which doesn't include 7950, yet this driver does work
with the 7950:
