Nvidia's Beta drivers ???

[Vlad Drac]

Hi guys

I'm thinking of getting a Nvidia graphics card in the next few weeks after using ATi for the last few years.
I'm just wondering how good Nvidia's Beta drivers are as they don't seem to release finished drivers as often as ATI do.
Are they reliable enough.

Usually, I've never been in a situation tho where a game has come out and there hasn't been a stable (either beta or WHQL) driver with compatibility for it...

I always try out latest beta Nvidia drivers and never had an issue with them.

Nvidia drivers are much better than ATI ones in my opinion.

All you ATI fanboys will be shouting at me for saying this!

I would have to agree, they do seem to be a bit better, the first week of having Biosock was a nightmare Unplayable on mt ati card.

And yeah, I've used the beta drivers before and there were perfectly fine. I rarely see a difference between drivers though unless they fix a specific problem, so I may not be the best person to ask.

Some of the 185 drivers have a few issues, but the 182.xx are solid.

Although a while ago when I had my last two Nvidia cards, 7800gtx and 8800gtx, I never had any problems or issues with the drivers.
