Nah, HWBot aint fussy 
TBH in everyday life people will use whatever drivers work best for their games, FM need to get off their power trip IMHO. As long as a set of drivers work good in games, I dont care what nV or ATI do to make the drivers give better bench results.
As it happens, these are the drivers that`ll give the 8800Ultra a boost from what i've heard.

If the driver set is not WHQL when released then it will never be (unless they release the same driver under a new number).
My view on FM and their stand on driver optimisations - I say if you allow all (amd, nvidia etc.._ to fully optimise their driver set-ups then should it really matter? Their answer is yes as a benchmark optimised driver set may be really awful for games and general use - so there has to be some control I suspect.
I remember running benchies on a set of drivers that you could not even see the screen properly yet they proved to be the best benching drivers.
I agree with teh the principal although the execution sux as they only test certain drivers I suspect.

HWBOT is void of such restrictions.

LOL single card is a crapload easier to work with if nothing else 
I dont think i`m not really comin after ya, unless you consider a trike chasing a Lamborghini a chase...
nVidias latest official release is pretty much the same as these, so they're official all we need now is FM approval.
