For christ sake nVidia - ANOTHER DRIVER

2 days ago they released 163.69 drivers (after about 3 BETA versions) now they have released ANOTHER set of BETA drivers for version 163.71. I shan't bother to upgrade to these as I am sure a newer set will be out tomorrow Rolling Eyes

Besides it's only fixes are:

-Improved compatability with PT Boats: Knights of the Sea

-Added NVIDIA SLI profile for Team Fortress 2

so if you play them then I suppose you should get them but for christ sake nVidia, can't you go 3 days without releasing new drivers.
This is madness......madness?...THIS IS SPARTA.

The drivers are for XP and Vista 32 and 64 bit versions:

It does seem crazy with the nVidia drivers, but look at the positive side; nVidia is being very active at making new drivers to keep everything at it's best. I just wish it was easier to keep the drivers updated without needing to create a new profile with each update. Can be rather time consuming. Crying or Very sad

That's why I only update when I get the itch to try a new driver.

It really does seem crazy to put more out in two days, but at the same time it's a pain when released dates keep getting set back one more day to add one more item and repeat repeat. It's also a way of keeping gamers talking about nVidia on a regular basis. Kind of an advertising scheme maybe! Shocked

Thanks for the heads up on the drivers!

I know it's starting to get busy as all new releases are coming out in a short space of time and I know it's good they are showing their support but in the space of a week I have seen 2 BETAs, and a WHQL signed driver. It's crazy.

I would rather them say 'ok, a new driver in 2 weeks but it will have fixes for this, this and this'. It's like doing baby steps at the moment.

Ren - I hope the new drivers help Guild Wars. Apparently these new ones are meant to improve compatability with Crysis Beta but it isn't listed as an official 'fix'.
