Re: Highly unofficial NVidia 168.18 whql jabloomf1230 <jabloomf[ at ]nycap.rr.com> 7/13/2007 2:21:28 AM Carlos, They also have 162.22 for Vista x86 and Vista x64, which is slightly newer. Guru3d has 163.11 for Vista x86 and Vista x64, but these drivers only work with the NVidia 8xxx series cards.

Re: Highly unofficial NVidia 168.18 whql Carlos 7/13/2007 10:16:02 AM Guys: Let me stress this. These are NOT beta. They are whql. Once you extract the exe file you will be able to see the "catalog" file (*cat.) which is the "mark" of being whql. They have the same numbering of other betas around there but they are not beta. Then again, use at your own risk. I have not still decided what I am going to do with them.

Re: Highly unofficial NVidia 168.18 whql Carlos 7/14/2007 1:12:01 AM Hi: Finally downloaded and successfully installed in Vista x64 the 162.18's from the source mentioned at the top of my post. I can confirm (and so does Vista) that the drivers are not beta. They are digitally signed. Date is June 29th, and version is 7.15.11.6218 No problems so far.
