    U can see all his releases on his website under the downloads page. The XF drivers are just the regular 177.70 drivers as developed and packaged by nvidia. Side's modifies the drivers to put out better IQ and performance and support pretty much any card. They are definitely better than XF, which as i said are just the plain nvidia drivers.

    So again a small increase. Thank you. ;)

    Oh by the way, in the nVidia CP, not all my installed games show up when I select 'only show installed games'. Also, all the icons of the games are gone. Is this normal?
