I'll keep an eye out for that reduced image quality, but I haven't noticed yet. I have a fairly low rez screen (1366x768 max) which might hide it. Games still look great to me.
Crysis is 3x more enjoyable with a minimum FPS of almost 20 now, thanks a bunch for your work.

I know you've dropped XP64 support, and I don't want to nag, but any chance of a release now and again for special releases such as this?
Either way, great to see you're back in business, especially with the desktop support! With Omegadrive no longer releasing stuff, there was a bit of a void!

Wow, the odds...
I was JUST trolling around yesterday trying to install some new drivers, because for some reason your 182.05's kept reverting my Vsync options in RivaTuner back to default (Auto/On) no matter what I did. So I downloaded and installed the modified INF/stock 182.47's (same as these but with the "fixed" OpenGL 3.1 stuff), and played some CoD5 and Fallout 3. They had noticeably more studder and random frame drops than your 182.05's, Dox. I'm going to put these on now, as I don't care about the OpenGL 3.1 crap in the 182.47's. We shall see if they are any better with the stuttering/random big dips in framerate.
Thanks Dox! I thought I was going to have to wait forever for new drivers! There's still nothing new at TweakForce and MobileForce. I'll be back to report on these.

Play games and run Fraps so you can see what kind of framerate your getting. Or see if there are any benchmarking programs available online for games that you own.
I'm finally actually playing Crysis now for the first time. Back when I had my old computer, I barely touched it and I still wasn't keen on playing it with my G50 because I couldn't get it quite right while still being able to run native resolution and at least Medium settings. Now I never drop below 30fps if I run it in DirectX9 mode.

No more quadro support is planned.
I suggest you stick to quadro drivers from nvidia's site and install using the modded inf for best performance.

just thought i'd let anyoane know:
1) resuming from sleep works perfectly on my 8600M GT (just like 182.05 did)
2) noticed some people have complained about heat. Well mine stabilizes at an idle 54 C, which in fact is cooler than 182.05 (that was about 55-56 C)
don't know in terms of performance which is better (this or 182.05)
bottom line is i like this better (cooler, stable, sleep works) - thanks for your efforts!

i have an 8600m gt on my laptop as well but i dont have that kind of issue w/ the 182.05 dox driver. the only one i have is on my WIC i guess it downclocks in mid game, but strange i have some other games like GTA IV, DMC4, Assassin's creed and i dont have this kind of issue. still trying to figure it out gonna try this one later at home.
nice to see you back dude, tnx for all of this...

Hmmm...strange, all of a sudden I've had 2 "nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered" errors playing Crysis.
Ran Furmark to make sure that it isn't a GPU heat/stability issue, and that ran fine.

Wow Dox, you surprised everyone with your most welcome early return.
Since everyone is talking about temps I'll add in mine too.
182.05 = Idle @ 41C
182.46 = Idle @ 42~43C
Stats:
Clock = 684
Memory = 800
Shader = 1368
Do I notice the heat difference? No.
