What the F?!

Why does Nvidia keep dumping these drivers on us? The last set is pure crap for the games it says it's improved for. I'm hesitent to try these ones out unless it's gonna fix World in Conflict and Stranglehold crashes/lockups.

Eh, they just released this saying they fixed the problems with WiC and you complain you are not going to try them till they...fix the problems with WiC? lol

I don't understand why they release a new beta every 1 day (or at least it feels like it).

Can't they just wait a couple of days and release fewer but better drivers?

According to the release notes the only change was an SLI profile additions for TF2, and comptibility fixes for some PT boat game I've never heard of.

crlorentzen is on a distinguished road
I like how they have added the "WHQL coming soon" below each beta. So are they just randomly building and passing drivers to MS to see if they can get a WHQL release?

As I noted with 162.18 release it completely broke all abiltiy for even my desktop to display, and it WAS WHQL...I think nVidia is just overloading MS with WHQL requests.

Just stop, think and then release when ready...what a novel idea.

The supposed improvements and fixes for WiC only made it worse! I want a fix for the fix.
