    :(


    So for all intents and purposes, Dox has left the party. His final Nvidia Forceware release was a modified 185.85 driver. Needless to say, newer drivers aren't necessarily more potent, but do offer some slightly enhanced compatibility with Windows 7, and I presume that will only increase over time.

    I would just update my drivers straight away, but I presume I'd lose my ability to overclock my 9600M GT in the Nvidia Control Panel.

    So what other options do we have to get our modded video drivers fix?
