They supposedly get better results from your card. Some of them are compatible for new 6800 cards too.
These drivers probably aren't certified, I'd stick with the ones on the nvidia site personally.

60.72 at Guru3d is awesome, running 60.85 right now with Dx9c and I get some fps boost in some games

Those 60.72 screwed me up in some games, and became problematic.
