I also have Win7 64 bits, but it doesn't show the new driver. The link you posted is Vista 64 bits.

Hopefully this might solve the AA and flickering issue, although I doubt it :(

Hmm...great. In the text it says, that the performance of the 400 and 500-cards is better.

But I'll wait until the driver is officially released. I already made bad experiences with beta-drivers.....

WHQL does not mean beta.

He stated they were WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs), which means they are certified to work on machines and are NOT in beta status. Plus the links show WHQL as well.

Thank you, Casper. These are indeed official drivers, but right now they're only available at Geforce.com and not the usual Nvidia driver page

Didn't know this.

BUT......if I search for drivers on the Nvidia-page, this one doesn't show up. But under the tab "Beta and WHQL" it's available. As stated before, I didn't know that there's a difference between WHQL and Beta.

Just to be on the safe side, I'll wait until it shows up in the common driver-search.

Suit yourself, WHQL means official, certified by windows :) They might come up on nvidia site any time now, you just got them faster this way. The ones on nvidia will be no different from these.

Official nvidia link nnway, since you asked for it:

Does it fix the black ground textures or will we have to wait for Crytek to fix that? If they even care to?

Wrong I get much smoother frames when looking at the sea in "Pier 17" "Lighthouse" and micro stuttering in these areas is drastically reduced with the new drivers, these stutters were caused by VSYNC being turned on, now I can actually play those maps without having to turn VSYNC off.
