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

I confirm it works under win7 64bit sp1

It says Win7-Vista 64-bit. It works in Win7 too.

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:

Some manufacturer also release new drivers (for particular hardware as O/C gainward gcards).
Don't forget to watch also on this way !!

Thank u ghost dj,

It's up on their official page. I just got it through my Nvidia control panel.

» Fri Dec 31, 2010 9:18 am

Performance is indeed better.

Performance is indeed better.

» Thu Dec 30, 2010 8:37 pm

I notice a performance boost as well. Even with SGSSAA forced on. Great

for Crysis2, it just adds 3D profile ***officialy***

» Fri Dec 31, 2010 2:20 am

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.
