Mainly new hardware support, and better 3D  Not a lot for video.  5336 
is certainly less buggy on my desktop system (FX 5200) for general use. 
  If you use experimental A/V sync you'll need to enable the new 
OpenGL-based vertical retrace sync (in CVS, see settings.pro), since the 
/dev/nvidia0 retrace sync is broken for > 4363.

A forthcoming driver version evidently will allow true interlaced modes 
for hardware that supports it.  That's a big deal for displaying HDTV on 
CRTs.
