just had a cheaky idea....

i know a way to install the 101.70 drivers from guru3d as whql

take the data1.cab, data2.cab, nv4_disp.inf and nv4_disp.cat (or whatever those are called) from the WU build and copy them over the corresponding files in the beta version.

in theory this should work

why would it be important to install the drivers as WHQL vs. beta?

what's the difference between beta and WHQL?

then, those people will have to live w/the 100.65s until the next set of drivers are made available.

IMO, i don't think that making a beta driver set to 'official' will be of the same integrity as a set that already is WHQL certified.

its the same driver, there are no file changes from the beta, to the whql build other then the .cat and cab files...
