I think its a great idea to get a non-confirmed, probably not finished driver to test out our thousand dollar computers with from a seemingly shady website.
they have a thread on them at guru3d
I dont blame you. they are being rehosted on OCN thread.As it isn't linked on the front page, that doesn't really give me a lot of comfort. I tried a lot of unofficial "beta" 7970 drivers back when I owned them (got rid of them a long time ago) and had nothing but problems. Several of these beta releases actually caused my system to BSOD incessantly. Because of this, I made a general personal rule to never use any driver that wasn't official and sanctioned by nvidia. (AMD at the time, but i'm using nvidia now)
I dunno. Unless I see a link on nvidia's driver page or guru3d's front page i'd be hesitant. Anyone can link a random driver link from an unknown website on a forum, i'm extremely hesitant to try anything that could be a vector for malware.

Considering that driver is not available yet, why would you avoid this one?I'd avoid this driver. Word from nVidia the upcoming driver has more fixes and will be out by end of the month.

320.29 is a test driver that supports the 760. Some reviewers or testers have it already (under NDA), this is just a leak. Guru3D mentioned they have the driver in an official capacity. There isn't anything going on here malicious that I have seen. I scanned it with MSE and I playtested it for a while yesterday. If you don't trust it, then don't install it Some of the people who reported issues with 320.18 did not experience them with this driver, so if you are one of those people it might be worth a shot.It's not an official nvidia beta or release driver. So that leaves the question, what is going on here? Vector for malware or spyware? Who knows? These things are not always obvious and can run in the background.
The main point is that if nvidia had anything to do with this, there would be a beta on their website. Obviously, at this time, there is no beta to be found on their website which begs the question, what is going on? That's certainly not a risk i'm willing to bother with. It could also be some type of driver for the upcoming 760, but who knows. If it is such a driver, it is not worth downloading.
When the current driver is fine, I don't see why anyone would chance a driver that nvidia apparently has no knowledge of and doesn't have on their website.

Installing new drivers and rebooting takes like 3 minutes so I can't imagine that's a huge pain for anyone.
