I was about to post exactly the same thing

There's a modified .inf that supports all other nVidia video cards that can be found here:

This .inf can be used to install the driver on any nVidia card, just in case you may want to give it a try

HDR+AA? So we would finally get games to support them without driver tweaks for ATI too.

Not unless you have anything above the Ati X1 series or nVidia's G80 series, all previous nVidia and Ati hardware don't support that feature

Yep (x1900xt), but seems like G80 can do it on all HDR games without any game support?

"NVIDIA's CSAA implementation basically gives you the quality of 16x AA with the performance hit of only 4x AA. So it is safe to say that you will be able to enjoy your games at 16x AA, without any loss of performance. This technique works even with HDR enabled and is available on all rendering APIs."

Well still hope there will be patches for current games and all future games support HDR+AA, with the release of 8800GTS/X.
