That's awesome. Now both Windows and Linux drivers have been updated!

Go NVidia!

I've had problems with the 66.93 drivers that just came out, went back to the 70.41 drivers that were leaked a while ago. Major stuttering in all the games I've tried (well, ok, only tried Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault and Men of Valor: Vietnam) Could be though, that it's because I didn't really do all the driver cleaning stuff.... Maybe I'll give 'em a go later. Still haven't tried out the linux ones.

This is a good sign though that at least when nVidia releases drivers, they'll update the linux ones as well.

At the very least, we know they'll release new linux drivers once every 6 months or so (to support their next card(s))
