GeForce 337.50 Beta Drivers

Anyone try the new Nvidia beta drivers yet? I haven't been able to upgrade in a while (a problem more than a few are having), but according to the release notes there's a pretty significant increase in R2 performance.

Made no difference I could tell, but met the Hippocratic oath, so, no harm no foul.

Main forum reports a similar lack of impact. If anyone is down the lower end of the food chain on CPU report back what you see, if I understand this correctly that was the target they were shooting at impacting by moving processing off the CPU to the GPU.

But like I said, I'm not seeing any effects show up in game at all.

Little follow up to this, I've been following other people's results and it seems that more than a few have seen considerable performance increases after performing clean installs, including those that initially just installed over their existing drivers. Also, the forest benchmark is not an accurate metric according to what I've read, as people that noticed no increase there saw big improvements when actually loading up a huge battle and zooming in on the action.

Thanks for the update, I remain skeptical. And I agree the benchmarks are not the way to determine an FPS improvement in R2.
