They mention updates to 3d as well has huge performance gains.

If someone could try them out and report back any 3d related info (like supported displays and if it will work with an 85hz DLP projector) it would be much appreciated.

The announced performance gains have been there for 6 month, one of the older driver was defective, so instead of writing "we screwed up the old driver", they prefer writing "we improved a lot on driver version xxx.xxx".

I do not believe these drivers contain Stereoscopic 3D support. When they say "3D application" they just mean "regular 3D games" like BioShock; they don't mean stereoscopic 3D.

If you check out the manuals of the NVIDIA S3D glasses, you will find that they continue to have 2 drivers -- regular driver + S3D add-on. These are the regular drivers.

That's odd. I thought they were claiming to make future drivers "all in one" and not have a seperate stereo download. Perhaps this is the last one to do them seperately if this was just a bug fix for their last driver release.
