Just installed the 60.72.

About the same benchmark readings exept:

3Dmark2003 Pixel shader 2.0 went up from 31.2fps (53.03drv.)
to 41.5fps with the 60.72drv.
+200 3Dmark2003 pts.
Haven´t tried any games yet.

Can somebody confirm this improvement ?

So a 30% gain with a minor driver revision. Does anyone believe this is
possible? How gullible are nvidia customers ?

Yes, but i noticed that improvement when i changed from driver

53.03 = 36.7
to
54.09 = 44.9


54.09 = 4.9
36.736

But why would nVidia optimize (cheat) in a 3DMark element that does not
impact the final score?

Just stick to the WHQL drivers, newer drivers aren't necessarily
better... and as the 57.xx proved, can be a lot worse.


I expect Nvidia to crap out a few releases in the next few weeks to
ease compatibility of current FX users over to the new line of NV40's.

For me, the WHQL-certified 56.72 drivers are the worst I've seen in a long
time. My video just drops out as the device driver fails, and I have to do
a reset, and sometimes even a shutdown to get the signal back.

I'm going to try to betas.

Of course there is an score improvement too...
