NVIDIA Adopts Monthly Driver Releases

Taking a page out of ATI's book (well, AMD now), NVIDIA plans on having regularly scheduled monthly driver releases instead of random, sporatic offerings. Thanks Beyond 3D. Here's a snip:

With all that information put aside, we really wanted to know what NVIDIA was willing to tell us about their upcoming driver development plans. While we know that GeForce 7-series cards currently can't run SLI under Windows Vista, when will users that shelled out their hard earned dough for this hardware get to put it to use?
NVIDIA told me that they planning to start releasing a new version of their Forceware driver for Vista at least once every month. I say at least because Diercks said that if they find several game fixes or bugs that are substantial they may have intermittent releases as well to help appease the gaming masses. This move is very similar to the driver development cycle that ATI's Catalyst drivers have been in for a couple of years now, with updates about once a month. Having this type of regular schedule should help NVIDIA users feel more at ease about their purchases knowing that a fixed time length is ahead of them to await another software release that could address whatever issue that ails them.

They also reveal the drivers themes for the next few months: February is "achieve a WHQL

You know, I am running the original drivers (April/May 2006) that came on the CD with my 7900GTX and I have had NO problems and great performance in all of my games.

I'm sure there's a newer driver that I could install, but like I always say, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

ok with drivers, I like to say "if it an't broke don't fix it"

So generaly don't upgrade a driver unless say a program/game needs it updated to run. That being said, if a driver for say the chip set/video card /da da da comes in that makes them work faster, then it my be worth it to upgrade to.
