can someone confirm somethings for me about these drivers. I'm presently using the beta 163.11 drivers and they are giving me an average of around 60fps, dropping to 40fps in snowy outdoors areas with loads of baddies in Lost Planet at max graphical settings @ 720p (I think the fps could be higher but I have vsync on as anything higher then 60fps on my plasma causes tearing)

Has anyone been using these beta drivers? and if so is there a noticable improvement using these new certified ones over the betas?

Also, I need to know something about the nvidia control panel. The new beta drivers include a feature that lets you manually adjust any overscan via some handy sliders. Do these new WHQL drivers include this feature in the control panel?

no I don't just mean the scaling configurations, there should be another option below that that allows you to manually resize and adjust the picture so that it fits your screen

what drivers where you using before and did you uninstall your old drivers first before installing the new ones?
