Please remember this is still beta so problems are likely to occur.

I heard great news about this driver's performance in XP 32Bit for many games. It's reported to be the fastest driver ever for NVidia (a matter of opinions of course), but it's not looking good for Half Life 2: Episode Two. I get flashing in the game (on rocks and the bridge, at the start of game, for example.

I wish NVidia would optimize this driver for EP2, hehe.

Must say, though, that the 163.75 and 163.76 has EP2 looking very nice!!!!!!! That is, of course, because those two driver releases are optimized for running EP2.

There is a lot of complain about the lack of stability with this one, I would wait.

Yup no o/c on this set as well as stability proplems. It is more optimize for HD video from the benchmark that is posted. But it will be great to know what driver is on the the 8800GT CD.
