This is the official 61.76 NVIDIA release candidate Forceware driver as posted on NVIDIA's site as sources tell us! It's quite rare to see so many ForceWare drivers on the web as we saw the past few weeks, this is the official one though.
The files are dated 07/12/2004 and will work with the entire range of Nvidia graphics cards.
I've recompressed the archive towards a lovely 7 MB ! You can install the driver the easy way as a setup.exe is included.
If you give the drivers a try then be sure to let us know your experiences in our NVIDIA driver forums. There is also loads of info on drivers and help to find in there.
