New Nvidia Beta Drivers out.

[V_R]

163.71's are out was gonna post about the 163.69's that came out about a week ago, but then these hit. NV are really throwing them out atm.

One thing that is new other that the usual game profiles, performance increases etc is that now the shader clock on 8800's can be overclocked separately rather than being linked to the core speed like in the previous drivers.

All UK links below.

XP 32bit

XP 64/Server 2003 64bit

Well thats dandy, but are they stable?

Still haven't had chance to try them yet but reports on Guru3D etc are good.

I always use the latest Betas and have only had one set from way back be unstable.

Wouldnt it be best/beneifical to (for most folks) to wait for the 'real' drivers?

I'm not forcing anyone to use them, just a heads up.
