Was trying to read through the release notes, but unless I am reading it wrong, there is hardly a bloody thing changed. Especially Vista 64 bit.

 

[maxtoon]

release notes don't exite me ...

gonna wait to see whether its worth installing these or not ..

currently using 169.12 on vista64

It's the candidate, doesn't actually mean it's been certified. Hence still beta.

 

[helmutcheese]

Not being WHQL dont mean its BETA, the cert means nothing anyhow, just MS sign it off as not causing issues.

 

[randal]

Meh, maybe an oversight then.

Release notes here, as the UK link appears to be dud:

Why are the UK versions of the drivers always twice the size of the US ones? Is there any difference really between English US and English UK?

lawlz, performance wise though. seems very stupid to have two seperate drivers when it makes no difference at all.

The readme might have different words in and probs no difference.

Anyone able to select 4x AF in these, it doesn't work for me, i can select every other one but not 4x, when i select it, it just jumps to 2x or 8x.
