there out, anyone notice anything improved?
it should boost fps by 6%

Sooo... you did road about:

Beta drivers are provided by NVIDIA as preview releases for quick bug fixes and access to new features. Beta drivers are under qualification testing, and may include significant issues. It is the end user's responsibility to protect system and data when using Beta drivers with NVIDIA products. It is strongly recommended that end users back up all the data prior to using Beta drivers from this site. Please ensure that newer Recommended/Certified drivers are not already posted on NVIDIA.com prior to installation and usage of Beta drivers. Beta drivers posted do not carry any warranties nor support services.

Windows Hardware Quality Labs testing or WHQL Testing is a testing process which involves running a series of tests on third-party (i.e. non-Microsoft) hardware or software, and then submitting the log files from these tests to Microsoft for review. The procedure may also include Microsoft running their own tests on a wide range of equipment, like different hardware and different Microsoft Windows editions.

You know about that, and agree with it?

Tell me please why are you using beta if "Beta drivers are under qualification testing, and may include significant issues.

Cannot wait for WHQL? Or you help testing them and contacted with nvidia for info exchange about issues or something?

I always use BETA's and have never had a significant issue.

Don't you think that this is parts of a random? It's like investigating which part of the big chocolate pie were with "surprise"(*bad thing*). What do you think about that?

Been using Beta Drivers for years and never had an issue.

the reason i use beta drivers,.... is that with every new release there is the possibillity of issues like flickering and framerate jumps being fixxed.
the previous driver fixxed some isseus for me along with the evga sli update on my nvidia gtx295)

Don't worry about him, he doesn't want to hurt his wittle wittle PC wif skary beta drivur!

Not everyone knows how to fix computers, and those that don't get scared easily by things that say "beta".

Beta drivers are as secure as all the other WHQL drivers, the testing is nearly the same inside Nvidia. The ONLY thing is, that the Beta drivers are not certified by Mircrosoft, so they HAVE to write this License (or whatever) down there.

The benefit for Nvidia for doing this is to release new fixes quicker.

That's how it is, nothing special or fency

Seems there was some issues with the last one, 170.60, anyways the driver is fine, seems to have some very significant improvements, (able to use multi CPUs even if software is not written for such etc.).

@GriVAl
You should read the fine print on drug boxes, you will never take another pill again xD

Those drivers were released under influence of problems with Witcher 2 xD

Source?
Or did you just pull that outta your ass?

275.27 drivers were released due to extreme low performance of Witcher 2 on Nvidia cards which was caused by 3D. Basically game were working like on 3D all the time, and only those drivers Fix it. It is written all over Polish websites regarding Witcher 2 since it is a Polish game, learn Polish and read about it.

Yes, there is great boost in Crysis 2 with 275.27 beta:
270.61 - 67 fps
275.27 - 78 fps

Oh....

Somebody tried the new beta?)
I want to download them if they are better performance. But need some user opinions is it worth it? Do you recognize some performance or better work of the new drivers? Or it's only written that they are better?
Or they have troubles that are visible?

This tests not enough for you? All who tried new beta drivers noticed better perfomance then ever.

You know the "Great RANDOM". There are thousand of peoples and one of them may be unlucky)))
Just wanna to make sure that there are not so many peoples with burned VGA or destroyed system. Cause random loves me. "I'm the luckiest person for random" (sarcasm).

Beta drivers are BETA. These are on testing, and you help with them (you can info them about issues). I remember when Dragon Age 2 goes released. I downloaded the beta drivers, them, cause dx11 was working weird...

The driver solved the problem, but at certain point, part of the screen become black., at random. Then you had to deactivate dx11 to run the game, or restart this.

Beta drivers are beta. If you want, you can use them. But the possible problems you have with the game, they does not need to be caused by the game.

Anyway... One month and no dx11... -_-b

There was many times when beta was better then whql, and once was time when whql drivers burned videocards to death, but this never happened with betas. So beta driver is not like games beta - its just new driver. And i must say this beta are realy great for crysis2.

PS. i install and test absolutely all nv drivers (incl tesla and quadro) and for me this one on second place (after 182.50)
