Nvidia GPU drivers trickle

We can't help but feel this is in some way a response to the leaking of news earlier from the INQ concerning R600 drivers from AMD.

DAAMIT has promised WHQL certified drivers for launch (24th March), and maybe as early as demos at CeBIT in Hannover (15-21 March).

It's possible Nvidia is ramping up driver production in anticipation of competitive product.

The release notes state that standard support for DirectX 9 is included for Geforce 6/7/8 series GPUs, and naturally DirectX 10 support is afforded for GeForce 8800 GPU based cards.

However, despite there being SLI support for DirectX 9 GPUs, no Direct X 10 SLI support for 8800 based cards has been included.

Nvidia state that DirectX 10 SLI support for GeForce 8800 GPUs will be 'available in a future driver'.

The driver release is numbered version 100.65, with 32-bit downloads here, and 64-bit download available here.

Oddly the 32-bit page wasn't viewable on some PCs, but a direct download is possible from this US link. µ
