Thanks forster, who found a link to the new official nVidia beta release Forceware 77.13 drivers

This from Guru3D: This driver has been serving from NVIDIA's press site for over a week now. Since this site is under an NDA pending NVIDIA's upcoming new graphics card release we had to be a little reluctant to post it. However the damage was done, so we'll follow the other driver sites now.

This is ForceWare 77.13 for Windows 2000 and XP. It was build on May 13th, 2005 making this an extremely new driver. The drivers comes with a setup.exe for easy installation. All GeForce Series based GPU's seem to be supported. We gave a little magic love to these drivers and re-chrunched them towards a far better 15 MB file-size.

First comments on these drivers seem to be that they are really good.

Here are some key features of "Exact Audio Copy":

Usage of the Windows 95 and Windows NT ASPI Interface, so both SCSI and ATAPI CD-ROM drives are supported

Hidden sector synchronization (jitter correction)

Secure, fast and burst extraction methods selectable. Fast extraction should run at the same speed as other grabbers, but is probably not exact anymore. Burst mode just grabs the audio data without any synchronization.

Read error and complete loss of sync detection and correction in secure modes, as far as possible

Output of time positions of all non-exact corrections and listen to these positions

Copy of ranges of music data, not only tracks

Automatic Speed reduction on errors and fallback afterwards

Normalization of extracted audio

Usage of the Windows Audio Compression Manager (ACM Codecs) for direct compression e.g. to MP3 waves

Support for the BladeEnc DLL that is usable like an ACM Codec for online MP3 compression

Support of external MP3, VQF, RA and AAC encoders for automatic compression after extraction

Batch compression and decompression of/to WAV files

Compression offset support for exact compression/decompression

Detection of pre-track gaps

Detection of silence in pre-track gaps

Automatic creation of CUE sheets for CDRWin, including all gaps, indicies, track attributes, UPC and ISRC

CD player functionality and prelistening to selected ranges

Automatic detection of drive features, whether a drive has an accurate stream and/or does caching

Sample Offsets for drives with no accurate streams, including the option of filling up missing samples with silence

Option for synchronizing tracks for non-accurate stream drives

Filename editing with local and remote CDDB database and cdplayer.ini support and more features like ID3 tagging

Browse and edit local database

Certified Escient CDDB(TM) Compatible

Local CDDB support

Record and Loop Record functions for recording from LP, radio, etc.
