I believe that the reason for this release (9.6.8.5), according to the
release notes, is to check the OpenGL support.
I don't play games but are these games OpenGL or DirectX. I did try one
game, however, that gave me the option of using either OpenGL or DirectX.
Anyway, I do hope you let nVidia know about your problems.
So far I have not had any problems. Although my computer is only less than
two months old and is labeled Windows Vista Capable.

Tried the 96.85 drivers. No good. Bad audio stuttering in Oblivion.
So far the only driver that works properly for me is 96.33
I am using 6800gt 500 mb agp card.

I have the same, bad impresions.
Driver works very bad in BF2 - during the game I see fragments of my
desktop.
I have rolled back previous driver.
