I am using them now for a few weeks (beta 169.21), and so far they work great.

The most important improvement I noticed is that the FPS drops are gone.
FPS still drops with an explosion but now the FPS will go up again instead of being low.

Afcourse this is on my rig, I have no idea if other people wil lhave the same results.

So far so good here. I've been running them since last week on my 8800GTX ... I get a little bit of flashing in IL2 but all my other sims seem to be doing fine.

Thanks for the heads up. I just downloaded the driver. I got flashing too in Il2 1946 on my 8500GT card on the previous driver.

Hi,
I've been using the NGO Nvidia optimized drivers for a long time now. Every time I d/l a new nvidia driver I run into trouble. I always benchmark and find the NGO drivers to be much better. They also O/C very well if, like me, you don't have state of the art graphics.I have a 512mb Geforce FX7300LE DDR PCI EX16.
