New NVIDIA Driver and GPU

NVIDIA just released a new WHQL Certified driver (version 84.21) yesterday for their GeForce series card.

Some of the new features include increased performance in F.E.A.R. and the following:

WHQL Certified

New NVIDIA PureVideo features and enhancements. Please visit the NVIDIA PureVideo website for more information on PureVideo technology and system requirements.
Support for high definition H.264 hardware decode acceleration on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.
Support for high definition MPEG-2 inverse telecine.
Support for high definition MPEG-2 spatial temporal de-interlacing.
Adds mixed vendor support for NVIDIA SLI.
TV-Out/HD-out support for NVIDIA SLI.
Added support for VSync on Direct3D games when running NVIDIA SLI.
Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0c and OpenGL® 2.0 support
For a full list of fixed and known issues please view the Release Notes.

What's also interesting is that they have a counter on their home page which counts down to when their new GeForce GPU is going to be released. According to the link, its due in 3 days. I didn't even know a version was around the corner! Wasn't the 7 series just introduced?
