I guess YMMV, then, because it works fine for me, and I have 4.8.  Like I 
said, I did have to jump through a few hoops, but once jumped, it has been 
working (I almost said flawlessly, but it doesn't appear to do OpenGL 
correctly; everything else in my setup works).  It may be something with the 
particular card, although supposedly nvidia has a common driver interface 
that means that all of their cards, from TNT to Titanium, should work.
