Navigate to the location above then look for the 162.50 link.

If you are one of the target users, give them a shot. They are much
better than the 162.18 WHQL, which are awful.

Yes, you can coolbits with the 162.50
Yes, you can still use the classic control panel with the 162.50 by
googling a simple registry addon.
Yes, digital vibrance works.
Yes, you can select custom resolutions and custom refresh rates.
No, they haven't bluescreened yet, unlike the 162.18's.

Thanks for the 'heads up'. From what the Guru 3D forums say, these look
good. Downloading now!

Yes, they are for Win XP 32, just pick the right one.

Yes, these are originally Quadro drivers, but they work for GeForce
cards just as well with proper .inf editing, which has already been done
for you.

Yes, the installer still messes up the icon arrangement on my second
monitor.

Yes, it still screws up the playing of AVI files on my machine, forcing
me to downgrade back to 158.22 (and screw up the icons again, yawn).

No, they *still* haven't fixed a performance bug when drawing lots of
OpenGL lines, so our software (that draws lots of lines) runs faster on
laptops than it does on high-end 8800GTX equipped machines.


I wish I'd stuck with the 7-series.
