I would like an opinion on this please:

Quote:

Although Nvidia says your latest drivers are WHQL certified the dxdiag report says otherwise, the 32bit side is okay, but the 64bit is not.

I'm not sure whether or not this poses a problem. I posted this question in this thread: Latest NVIDIA ForceWare Video Drivers Windows 7 Did you follow the note in that tutorial to update your WEI? If you didn't that can throw things off.
I'll see if Brink can reply here, if there I'll post a link.

Partial dxdiag reports showing discrepancy posted.
