Nvidia har udgivet en ny driver til Geforce 8800. Der er ikke ændret det helt store, men man kan altid håbe på lidt ekstra performance. Måske er dette driveren som booster performance i "Stalker" (se link).
I samme vending skal det nævnes at AMD har lavet et hotfix til deres Catalyst 7.3. Hotfixet skulle eftersigende løse nogle BSOD problemer i Vista.
