Just a heads up that NVIDIA has released new drivers for Geforce graphics cards this last week.

Version 310.90 contains the usual stability and performance increases, but it also closes a critical security hole which allows remote superuser access to computers connected to a domain.

Drivers here:

UK: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-310.90-whql-driver-uk.html

USA: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-310.90-whql-driver.html

You make it sound the high performance ring 0 device drivers are written in Java or .Net...
