What's with nVidia and not having a "Unified" Driver anymore? I want support for all of my nVidia cards again. 177.79 have 8, 9, and 200...what about 7 and below? My 7 series isn't *that* old.

It's the new PhysX support. The 177 series can go only as far down as the cards are capable to run CUDA (as PhysX prereq).
