    It doesn't really sound all that worthy of an upgrade. But I guess people using the beta flash will be very happy.

    I know what you mean. It looks like Nvidia are pushing the flash HD angle and ironing out the bugs. I was so excited when I saw a new driver so soon (thought it might be improved and provide some fixes). What a let down Nvidia. I posted too soon before reading the fixes/changes.

    Yes the latest drivers by Nvidia seem to be as stable as poop. I advise the 186 drivers as they are still the most stable and reliable. I tried the beta and my gaming experience was beyond horrible. (not worthy of benching at this point)

    Forceware 186.82 WHQL FTW!
    Forceware 186.81 WHQL FTW!

    Forceware 19X.XX WHQL always gave me brightness control problem as well as it's performance was not good too(some were quite OK but some were terrible).
