    Anyone downloaded the latest beta drivers? Did you guys see any improvements on your 460ms?

    Why not install them yourself and find out?

    I just did. I guess i had to be the genui pig.
    Any how.

    These drivers are a tad better than the latest OFFICIAL drivers.

    The GPU runs a bit cooler to be honest with a bit more better performance.

    So far I recommend it.

    Pre overclock GPU with the 270 official drivers my 3D mark 06 was 13950

    After the beta and some overclocking my 3D mark 06 is just over 15500.

    I wonder if the difference is just the OC or OC+the latest firmware.

    Anyway. I do recomment these drivers to everyone out there.

    Asus g73 SW

    Nvidia 460M

    3D Mark 06

    Official 270 Drivers

    13950 max 76 degrees

    Beta 275.27 Drivers

    14057 max 73 degrees

    Beta 275.57 Drivers OCed @ 750/1350

    14837 max 74 degrees

    Beta 275.57 Drivers OCed @ 800/1400

    15286 max 74 degrees (fans got a bit louder)

    Finally NVIDIA Delivers a decent driver for our GTX460m
    I put this new beta driver and I approved.

    It really gave me gains up to 5fps, with no bug until now.

    I am very Glad. No doubt recommend this BETA Driver

    I hope that NVIDIA did not make in the final version, like they did with the 270.61

    the cool thing picking nvidia over ati is, they can pump out the true power of their card with drivers. :)

    Try mixing NV Surround with mixed DVI and HDMI outputs and see how great nVidia drivers can be. Not.

    What's wrong with 270.61 WHQL driver?...........

    Isn't it that the 275 driver not a WHQL approved yet and just beta? How good is the 275 driver when it comes to Witcher 2?

    I'm just asking 'cause I'm still just using the 270.61 driver (whql) with my G73SW-XT1 and it's completely fine when it comes to games like Fallout New Vegas and Witcher 2 @ 1920X1080 res. My previous 260.61 driver was playing Ultra High with Fallout New Vegas, and I think 260 will still perform good with Witcher 2.

    I've already killed the Kayran beast (big, big boss) in Witcher 2 with just the 270 driver. The game just runs flawless at medium setting plus adjustments @1920x1080 and it's still definately eye candy...

    So far this new driver allows me to use my slight OC settings and it runs great on TW2. Should be no problem for anyone with a gtx 460m. First driver that has worked this well since the 265.88 driver.

    Help guys, when trying to install either this driver or even the 270.61 WHQL driver on my Asus G53sw it gives the error "the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware".

    as far as i know all G53SW are incompatible with official nvidia drivers.

    at least all with "New Revision: Certified Design" sticker (with the Sandy Bridge without bugs/Sata II problems)

    it wouldn't involve the motherboard, but the GPU's hardware ID in the vBIOS.
