Re: Graphic Drivers
Here are links for previous and beta versions of graphic drivers from the big two:

Nvidia:
download from Guru3D.com

ATI:
download from Guru3D.com

If your looking for laptop graphic drivers then try the laptop makers website as they usually supply the drivers themselves.. If however your still sruggling to obtain the latest graphic drivers a good place to start is here:

Re: Graphic Drivers
You can now download Nvidia 177.83 WHQL from here:
download from Guru3D.com

This is also a PhysX driver so if you have a 8 series card or upwards this will enable physx on your card...It works too...

In fact here's the Geforce PhysX pack:

Re: Graphic Drivers
Nvidia has released a special Beta Forceware 177.89 which supports OpenGL 3.0. These drivers are for GeForce 8, 9 and 200 series cards in Windows XP and Vista, and are meant to allow developers to start coding applications in OpenGL 3.0.

Re: Graphic Drivers
Nvidia has released a new Beta Forceware 177.92 driver for Windows XP and Vista. These drivers are for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9 and 200 series graphics cards. These drivers provide support for Nvidia PhysX and include a new 8.08.18 PhysX driver as part of the package. Importantly, aside from a range of fixes, the drivers have notable performance improvements in a range of games including Assassin's Creed, CoD4, ET:QW, CoH and BioShock, particularly in DX10 mode, both in single card and SLI configurations.

These drivers are awesome! I'm seeing big improvements in DX10 titles..
