Actually... Nvidia's target customer market is the movie making industry, and high end 3D CAD, scientific markets. Their drivers are created for large customers in those markets, and their availability for gaming is merely a side effect of that. There's more to it than that, but that is the crux of the situation basically. I'm not sure how seriously they take bug reports, etc. WRT games and other applications that don't affect their chosen market targets though. Filing bug reports can't hurt anyway... ;o/ -- Mike A.
