Does anyone know the difference between this and the 182.05 beta driver?
I know the 182.05 was a WHQL candidate so it will be interesting to see what they changed.
 
"* Includes full support for OpenGL 3.0 on GeForce 8-series, 9-series, and 200-series GPUs."

does mean i get full GPU effects with adobe photoshop CS4 in xp64 now on my 8800GT ?
 
Still doesn't fix Doom 3 and Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, and NFS Undercover issues. arggg, stupid vertical tear issues through everything in the game.
 
Does UT3 still have a heart attack when you look at a portal?
 
That is happening with vsync on? I've not noticed these issues.

yep, Vsync on, stock everything. Using windows 7 Beta, I have to use Prerelease 1.1 (179.23) drivers to make the issue go away, every 18x.xx driver i've tried does it. Can't print screen capture it either :(
