It looks like Nvidia has finally realised that it might be a good thing to bring out new drivers sooner rather then later. Even if it's just beta ones.

Now if ASUS would also get their drivers up to the same version, or at least to 81.xx, I would also be happier

@ Luke7777
Why don't you use the reference drivers rather?
Or are you using utils that "require" the asus versions?

 

[Luke7777]

am using the reference once since 78.01+, but Asus has built in some nice stuff into their drivers (apparently) specifcally for the brand. This might be the link, but Websense in its wisdom says gaming sites not allowed Called "Splendid" btw

This is cool:

Share Live Gaming Experience Online

Just like people who share their lives and thoughts on blogs, expert gamers often want to show off their perfectly executed strategies and five-hit combinations to other gamers. GameLiveShow is another innovative feature incorporated in ASUS graphics cards that is created to allow gamers to stream broadcast their gaming experience live over the Internet. Other players can now go online to check out how you expertly beat the whole game.

About the only other thing is the "dynamic" overclocking feature, otherwise the NVidia ref drivers can do pretty much the same thing.

I'm not really one for the bells and whistles in a driver. I just want the thing to work, and work well.
