I just downloaded the 56.64. And do these close driver updates really make any performance difference on the older cards like the Geforce4 ???

If it aint official i aint installing, happy with the ones released yesterday

Have to agree for sure. Used to also go further and say if aint whql then aint installing either, but since nvidia now removed whql for my ancient card model, guess official will have to do from now on.

A changelog would be nice

And if you could get them without being a member of their silly site (it doesnt look near as cool as neowin)

Oh, they're up on guru3d:
