New Forceware 171.16 Beta Drivers

[honestjohn]

Haven't tried them yet, but here they are. Long thread discussing these on Guru3D and NVNews. They just showed up.....

Vista/32

XP/32

Guru3D users have commented that there is an issue with the XP Beta causing the graphics card fan to run at a full100%. Can be countered with Rivatuner.
AA also appears to fixed when using gaming profiles.

They seem to be the same drivers VR-Zone used in their Beta Preview and they say they're not optimized yet. Use these at your own risk and don't shoot the messenger which would be me. Thanks ....

Lol @ guru 3D for censoring links.

Pussies.

Same here. Curious to see if TF2 acts up as I mentioned in my thread regarding a problem I'm having with it. About to go back to 169.21 WHQL.

OMG THE DIGITS CHANGED YESH

what drivers are good for COD4? I think the 169.25s are kinda weak for COD4.
