    But it runs great for my games. My left 4 dead runs smoother with it.
    You should try it and check its benchmark.

    You mean 190.15 ?
    Anyway, I get low 3DMark06 Score but my games run great with 186.03. I will try 190.15 when it becomes official :D

    LOL. I just revert it back to 186.03. I am waiting for official release too.
    I afraid that the BETA(leak) would kill my GPU. XD!

    So I am running a 9650m GT and I installed 186.03 from the Nvidia site and I get tiny white artifacts while doing anything, just not games. Also my video card crashes sometimes when I tab out and tab back into a game, my computer automatically restarts.

    I went through and uninstalled the old drivers, then restarted ran in safe mode and ran driver sweeper. This also happened with 185.85. From these last two installs of the the drivers I have gone back to 179.48 and it hasn't failed, or have a bunch of tiny white artifacts.

    Anyone got any ideas why it would be doing this?

    EDIT: While typing this the driver just failed (186.03).

    Alt + tab is my best friend. I can't even begin to recall how many times it saved my behind in class.
