NVIDIA have released a ForceWare 163.69 display driver, WHQL-certified for Windows Vista. It makes us lament that there never was a 69.69 driver release, but we digress.

The driver brings improved compatibility and performance for some recently released, and soon-to-be released, top-rated games including BioShock, Crysis, ET:QW and World In Conflict.

It also brings some new HD post processing options for certain GeForce 8-series models for VC-1 and H.264, and some SLI performance benefits for D3D9, D3D10 and OpenGL applications. Hooray.

You can find the driver for Vista x64, and Vista x86, and whispers abound of a Windows XP release with similar bits and pieces sometime this week.
