New Nvidia Drivers or April 1st Joke?

[Quige]

They say they're WHQL certified, and from the normal nvidia download page,

Version: 56.72

WHQL Certified

Anyone tried them yet ?

 

[mank!]

I don't think any self-respecting company would do something like that, but then again you've made me paranoid now

 

[Quige]

I'm going to go for it ... will report back.

Yus they are real

Also, there's some beta drivers for the nForce2 mobos (audio / IDE only), I've installed the Audio ones as it may help with Vietnam

Well, I've had a quick blast around ONS-Primeval and my computer hasn't self destructed. Not sure if it's my imagination or not but it didn't seem I was getting as good a fps as with the previous drivers. More testing required.

Played some CTF on maps I'm more familiar with and frame rate seems as good as it was before. My imagination after all.
