New nvidia 52.16 detonators out. The 5x series is supposed to be a big help for FX users. I'm on a lowly 4mx so I can't tell ya.

Oops my bad.
Yes, new nvidia Drivers out, numbered 52.16, available from the nvidia website drivers section. They are WHQL certified (microsoft says they work). They were released Thursday the 23rd for Windows XP / 2000 at least.
The 50 series drivers are supposed to contain marked improvement and fixes for FX series graphics cards. If your card is nvidia and has FX in the name somewhere its probably a good idea to get this driver.
I have not tested it with an FX card and SL though, and can make no gaurantees there. I do know that it didn't harm my experience on my GeForce 4 mx 440 any more than the card itself does.

Very, very big frame rate improvement for my FX5200 with the new drivers (I was somewhere between 5-10 before, now pulling about 25-35 on average) I haven't explored much, but my little area in Tan definately looks and feels faster and smoother. An extremely dramatic change!

I have a GeForce FX 5600 w/256mb, I'm downloading as I write this...
<10 minute pause>
Seems to work fine, I've noticed about a 5FPS increase.

I can't run SL with 52.16. SL runs, but is completely black. Reverted to oct 9th version 43.x something or other. :p (ti4600)
