Just though that I would let everyone know that nVidia released the 195.62 drivers. The drivers have been out for a few days but the link to the Windows 7 drivers was broker.

I find myself way too excited about NVidia driver releases after getting an Ion-based HTPC. Still, it's hard to avoid the excitement as these drivers basically determine the performance of that entire computer.

OpenCL and DirectCompute support, but most notably, Flash Video acceleration? Now we're on to something! (Still waiting for Fermi, though.)

i thought open CL was DX11 only? also from what i have read you cant get the GPU acceleration with Flash10.1 unless you have a DX10.1 card

This driver supports all that, all of that was never a hardware limitation anyhow.

Actually i thought it was. DX11 comes with all this so i thought that if you didnt have DX11 you didnt get OpenCL. along with Flash 10.1 i read in many places that you need a DX10.1 card to enable it.

OpenCL works on DirectX 10-class hardware, and actually has no real ties to DirectX whatsoever (we're comparing an open, platform-agnostic API to a proprietary Microsoft API used only with Windows, after all), other than that hardware that supports a particular DirectX revision in hardware also tends to support certain things in OpenGL and OpenCL. Also, going by the driver details, NVIDIA says that DirectCompute works from the GeForce 8 Series on up, thus quelling my fears that anything coded in DirectCompute required full-on DX11 support. Finally, it turns out that they weren't kidding about the Flash acceleration. Even though my Q6600 could handle it, I don't like seeing CPU cycles going to waste, and it barely has any usage on today's bloated, Flash-laden pages now. This is going to be a godsend on supported mobile computers.
