nVIDIA released the beta Forceware 177.89 last week, which introduces OpenGL 3.0 feature set support for all GeForce 8, 9, and GTX series video cards. As this driver seems to be geared towards developers, it's unknown whether there are any performance advantages/issues over the recently released Forceware 177.83 drivers. PhysX hardware acceleration (which was introduced in Forceware 177.83) seems to be supported in Forceware 177.89. More details here: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/opengl_3_driver.html
These drivers are primarily for GeForce 8, 9, and GTX series video cards, but mobilenvidia of LaptopVideo2Go.com has modded them so that they can run on mobile, Quadro FX, GeForce FX (2000/XP only), 6, 7, 8, and 9 series video cards as well.

Installation Instructions:
1.) Uninstall the NVIDIA drivers from "Program Add/Remove"
2.) Install and Run Driver Sweeper with "nVIDIA Display" selected. It's recommended to do this, so that left over data from old graphics drivers don't conflict with the new ones.
3.) Restart the computer.
4.) Install the new Forceware drivers.
