The 60.72 drivers are presently not WHQL certified, however they are currently the only driver that support the pre-release GeForce 6800 Ultra board.

Note: benchmark results from GeForce FX 5900 Ultra and 5800 Ultra were added late in the process and due to time constraints the analysis is only done between the GeForce 6800 Ultra and GeForce FX 5950 Ultra.
