ForceWare 177.98 WHQL may become the last driver of the 177 family. After this NVIDIA are going to roll out their Big Bang II. So this time how well the 177.98 performs?

Test platform：

CPU: Intel Core 2 QX9650 OC 400MHzX10
Mobo: Asustek Maximus Extreme
Memory: A-DATA DDR3 1066 1Gx2
Graphic Card: GeForce GTX 280
Driver: Forceware 175.19 and 177.92
OS: Windows Vista SP1

From what we learned from test result, The new 177.98 WHQL is not a performance-boost driver, at least not for our GTX 280. Because the lacking of release note so we can not sure the new driver is for SLI improvement or Video playback enhancement. Remember The Big Bang II is at the corner, prepare for it.
