Use the advanced driver search - http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us

Only supports 9600 series....sadly.

Fix'ed

I just tried installing with my 8800GT and it says they don't support my video card.

Same here.....

Isn't this what the modded INF's are for..:confused:

Use the modified .inf file linked above....but you'll lose WHQL certification.

indeedy :p:

they are only WHQL candidates, they don't have the full certification yet

Wonder if it is any different from the 174.16 beta?

So far that driver is giving me the best SLI performance.

when are these officially going to release? ive been seeing alot of whql's floating around, but nvidia still suggests the 169.25 :|

these are under the 9600GT Driver section.

Also, For the Not supported cards, Use the Modded inf. Make sure you put the Modded inf in the 174.16 setup folder in the Nvidia folder.

XP64 modded inf at LaptopVideo2Go:

Same but I ignored that and it worked fine still. Pretty good driver actually, performance is superb but IQ wasn't that nice in all games. I prefer the XG 174.12 ones currently but 174.16 gave slightly better 3DMark06 score though.

Here you go guys select the driver and os and download the mod.info

I got the missing file error too. Using the WinXP 32bit drivers.

The missing files are as follows:

nvDispSR.dl_
nvGameSR.dl_
nvMccsSR.dl_
nvMoblSR.dl_
nvViTvSR.dl_

So I removed the needed files from the driver version 174.12, put them in the NVIDIA folder and the install went fine :cool:

In case anyone wants the missing files, I uploaded them here:

32bit Win XP only.

Cheers! :D

i think the xp32 modded inf is from the international set, while the download link points at the US

[edit] according to Rich_Guy from guru3d forums, this inf is for the US set
