A month ago I tested the Nvidia 180.84 graphic driver using several benchmark software that are mostly freeware. The test was made using one of those low-end DVI video cards, a 7300 GT. The results were not so much stellar in terms of FPS as they were in terms of image quality.
Now though I have tested the tweaked, Xtreme-G version of the Nvidia 180.84 graphic driver using the same benchmark software and while I cannot say that the huge mark up in image quality improvement is solely because of the new Nvidia-based graphic driver (having bought a new monitor), the benchmark software I've been using are now displaying greens and reds that are more vibrant. Is it the new monitor? Or is it the graphic driver? I don't know, but one thing's certain: the tandem is making me consider playing the entire FEAR series again just to see how well it looks now. :D

Xtreme-G drivers aren't official drivers from Nvidia and hence there's a small element of risk involved. Install at your own risk.
(They bump up image quality though.)
I've installed numerous Xtreme-Gs for the past two years though; they all work fine for me.
Glad you've found the article useful. Happy gaming!
