The beta driver from Nvidia's just released 2 days ago. This is believed to improve both IQ and performance noticeably. But unfortunately, it doesn't support T61p's FX 570M vid card. Just curious if anyone has tried this (modded) driver?

I'm going to make a "clean XP" of my T61p and seeking for the most suitable driver (stable, good in both image quality and performance) for the graphics card.

Anyone would you share your experiences? Any idea is appreciated!

I have just installed this driver with modded inf. It seems it works. Only 50 Hz refresh rate is missing. Good news is that finally there is fixed bug with video levels (16-235, 0-255).

Thanks pavelz for your feedback. I've just install this driver and it works like a charm. A lot better in gaming compare to the default driver (dated 2007) from Lenovo.
