    I'm wondering...
    Do those forcewares in www.guru3d.com work with 9800M GT???
    And which one would you recommend for gaming??

    Thanks in advance.. ^_^

    Here

    Download the version of 177.92 that matches your operating system. Also dl the inf.

    Extract driver into a folder, add the inf, then run the setup.

    CUDA stands for Compute Unified Device Architecture,\. It is a compiler and a n API of dev. tools that allow programmers to use a variation of C code algorithms on the video card. Some examples include running Folding @ Home for medical research, and PhysX for in game physics simulations.

    I think CUDA is just a tool programmers use.
    I don't think it adds any performance on a GPU.

    If you download the cuda enabled drivers and the physx software, then you can get increased performance on games that support physx (ie UT3)
