NVIDIA 169.04 Driver Brings Improvements
,----[ Quote ]
| Most notably, with the NVIDIA 100.14.19 driver with a GeForce 8800GTS 640MB
| we found major performance gains. With the NVIDIA 169.04 Beta driver we have
| once again found significant performance improvements for the GeForce 8
| series on Linux. While there were no improvements with the GeForce 8600GT in
| Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, the improvements were very noticeable in Doom 3
| and Quake 4. This updated Linux driver has also corrected some monitor issues
| we previously had with incorrectly parsing the EDID information and other
| bugs.
