You should read the thread entirely... to quote myself :

That's not the problem... That's simply a lie.
If they just couldn't release the driver they could
at least release card specifications.
I was in talk with an NVidia engineer who's said me :
"Actually, we do write our driver without documentation".
Which can only be a big lie.
Also, they say that they are affraid of giving informations
to their competitor... But giving away driver and / or card
specs doesn't give you any informations about the silicon die.
