did not see anything in the release notes that differentiates them from 'original' 8198. i think they also had support for 7800gs.

"nVidia added support for the 7800GS and then got them re-certified.
That is all that is different."

Nope. I just tried to install it to my brand spankin' new 6800GS AGP and it threw me back the message that "unrecognized video hardware" or something similar. WTF?

If this doesn't support my 6800 GS, why does it say in the readme that it does?
I am using this:
version 82.12, 12/19/2005 ), which is off from the installation CD (the only driver working with my card).

81.98 does this during installation:



this is what I get with the newest driver installation:
