Nvidia drivers

Hi all.

I have just loaded the latest Ge Force driver 81.85 and noticed that it was
not WHQL certified. I then noticed that most of the previous drivers in the
Nvidia archive were not certified either except for one or two going back in
time and I am wondering if Nvidia are no longer showing whether their
drivers are certified or not and if not, why have they stopped doing it.
When I installed the driver, Windows (XP) gave me the usual non compliance
warning but I installed it anyway but where does this leave us if we have
video problems? Is it safe to continue using non WHQL'd drivers? Any
clarification would be much appreciated.

I don't doubt that cost is an issue..

Any version that has been WHQLed is marked as such.
