Nvidia's beta drivers are usually pretty stable...I wouldn't have any hesitations in using them

Re: New Nvidia ForceWare Beta Drivers For Crysis

I think I'm gonna start using the beta drivers, cause of the absence for over 3 months of a new WHQL driver.

Re: New Nvidia ForceWare Beta Drivers For Crysis

Thanks for the heads up polonyc2, have just downloaded both the patch, and the drivers. Will do a fresh game install as well, so everything is nice and clean Does anyone know if the V1.10 patch is needed as well, or do we still need to install both patches to update correctly

Edit: Doesn't matter, just found out at Crymod that the earlier patch is not needed for fresh installs
