Haven't tried them, but people seem pretty positive about them. Great speed, great IQ, non bugs, though HDR in controlpanel seems to be gone again.

The IQ and performance is better than the last betas i was using (163.11).After playing the bioshock (Steam) demo for the first time @ 1440x900 60hz.I had minimal slowdown from these drivers.
So far these look to be a pretty good release.

Still in testing mode, however that is encouraging news Mouse. 162.22 WHQL was not doing the trick. This is the first beta drivers I've used for this purpose so hopefully it will work.

I like the performance of these drivers.As i don't know if i am the only one.
All games using this driver appears darker.And i can not set the Gamma to my preference.

I think your right.. after installing some sp1 beta patches from MS and the new drivers from nVidia... I find the OS to very very smooth.. I've yet to run into any glitches.. and even thought it was a realy slow start.. with some bugs at first.. I'm glad to say i'm pleased... I just wish that all the critics will stop complaining about dumb things they have no idea about.. and give MS the chance to smooth the rest of the things out..
and no.. I dont get paid by MS to say these things..!!  (actually I wish I were.. maybe I'd be able to aford a pc like Zardons...  ) |

Mobile users be careful with these. I modded them using the laptopvideo2go inf and had to roll my system back as they where causing crashs. Even with Drive cleaner in safe mode and the normal good proceedures.
As desktop is dead cant attest to quality on a normal system yet.
