Is this official beta from nVidia or its just leaked somewher ????


Im using 174.70 at the moment (leaked)

Update: I checked its official , downloading it now . Have some good exp with the .70 driver .

UPDATE : Not bad driver at all , same IQ that the 70 , but faster. For me keepers .

These drivers fix the Control Panel AA bug, where AA would not be enabled when setting it via the control panel.

OK I'm going to give it a try and compare performance with 169.21.

Improved performance on many DirectX 9 and OpenGL applications.
Hopefully not just for 9000 series.

There have lower performance then 169.21 because Quality has been increased.

Quite the contrary. Though I've only tested with 3 games but I had to redo them just to make sure. These results are accurate and not "within margin of error".
FEAR: average of 4fps increase.
Crysis: 3 more fps.
Nexuiz(opengl): 6fps increase but is still outperformed by Ubuntu (With the added insult of having compiz fusion enabled at the time) probably due to higher image quality.

Definitely keeping this.

well it all depends on games i guess, but people at Xsystems are complaining it has less performance,.... its probably because it increases the average fps, but minimises the max.

After some more test i culd make statment " probable best driver for Crysis i used "

This driver is REALLY GOOD, i'm actually nicely surprised for a change! I have only tried it with Crysis but I have seen around a 20% performance increase, I can now play all settings on Very High (before it was just High) with full AA on!

Crysis has never looked so good - Highly recommended - if the performace is as good with other games then this driver should definately be the basis for the next WHQL release.

seems good her so far

CoD4 also gets quite a big increase in framerate with AA on - seems to be werkin relly well for my SLi rig

This driver work good for me. Good IQ and performance. I haven't try all my games yet. But, it should running fine. Gonna keep this driver for a while.

Well , Tested them on few games:
UT3 + ~4 fps
Cod2 + ~9 fps
ET:QW + ~12 fps
STALKER + ~3 fps
Bioshock + ~4 fps
Cod4 + ~5 fps

Not bad, waiting for next ones :-D

I think because these were originally 9800 gx2 drivers right?? that there is seriously improved scaling between the two G90+ cores therefore SLi systems will see a particularly large improvements in performance.

I can't help but feel this is the way my 8800 SLi setup was always supposed to have been werking but up until now it always feel like something was holding the performance of my system back.

Its like my SLi has been "unleashed!"
