Actually... Nvidia's target customer market is the movie making
industry, and high end 3D CAD, scientific markets. Their drivers
are created for large customers in those markets, and their
availability for gaming is merely a side effect of that.
There's more to it than that, but that is the crux of the
situation basically. I'm not sure how seriously they take bug
reports, etc. WRT games and other applications that don't affect
their chosen market targets though. Filing bug reports can't
hurt anyway... ;o/
