I recently read (don't remember on what site) that Geforce 175.19 WHQL had worse performance than 175.16. It now seems that the 175.19 drivers have been removed from nVidia's website, the latest is now 175.16. No details on why it was removed, but if you have .19 installed, you might want to downgrade.

Ehh, I really can't tell a difference between the nvidia drivers anymore unless there has been a big new game release.

Nvidia Drivers - 175.19

Still there. What are you talking about?

Did you actually go to the drivers page to get the link? It's not listed anymore

Edit: My mistake, it's listed when you select the 200 Series cards. When I downloaded .19 when it was first released it was also listed under the 8 series but apparently not any longer. Also, it's only the link to the XP drivers that's removed

Confirmed. I just updated my 8800 GTX driver to 175.19 last Saturday, and now it shows only 175.16.

the 200 series cards now shows 177.41

seems the 175.19 is indeed pulled off.

It still shows 175.19 for my 9600GT and yes I went to the driver page to get the link like normal. I am on vista 64 bit.

yup, Vista still have 175.19, but XP has 175.16 now... hmm...
..'Ant'..
Still there for me:

These drivers work fine with me.
