So now that NVIDIA has rebranded 8 to 9 series cards are they just hoping the 8 series will go away? What is up with no new drivers for the 8 series in almost 4 months?

I have an 8800GT and the 174.74 betas gave me a blue screen upon reboot.... I am sticking with the 169.21 as they give me no issues...just a heads up.. nothing above the ones I have installed seem to work for me.. odd but true
Im so confused. I went to www.nvidia.com, went to the download section, chose my GPU and OS (8800GTS 512 and z64 Vista) then downloaded the WHQL certified 174.74 drivers...NOT beta.
I think you guys are missing something.

I agree that NVIDIA has left us with 169.21
I would like a new driver too, 174 series are more for 9xxx series and like some said, the notes specifically say 9600gt, 9800gx2 etc nothing from 8xxx

I had gotten them from the beta section on NVidia's website after installing fine, I restart and got a blue screen and the culprit was awvid5 a file name I have never seen b4
Theres two sets of betas, the one is/was for the 9xxx series, the other, which can only be gotten thru my link afik. is for the 8xxx series, and they work beautifully

When I went to the nVidia site all I saw was 9xxx series, both WHQL and beta. The newest lited was the 169.xx . Someone pointed me to G3D, and lo and behold, there they were. Im thinking nVidia let these out, then retracted them for their 9xxx series launches, as they offer better fps and to me , a little better IQ as well
