   These drivers that are found on the nVidia download page have not changed for some time. However, if you go to the FTP site:
   
   ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/81.98
   
   You will see that there are 81.98 drivers for Windows 9X machines!

   Don't get me wrong, these drivers are still on the cutting edge of technology, but I saw a small loss of performance on my 3Dmark benchmarks. Not much, but not a 25% gain as claimed either. Perhaps they are making this claim based on benchmarks against the standard OEM drivers that came with the card because I could definitely see a 25% improvement there. These drivers are worthy of a 5 star rating as far as their overall quality, but they are not a necessary upgrade. The largest improvement I have seen over my previous 29.42 drivers would be the user interface in the configuration page of the display properties. Overall a good driver, but I would have waited longer before bothering to release it.

   Is it just me, or do they claim "Up to 25% preformance increase" in *every* release? Hell if that's true by now the cards are 10-20 faster then they were when they were first released, just due to the drivers.
