WHQL means nothing mate.
Just that it was digitally signed by Microsoft.

But if you really want to wait for the WHQL ones, be my guest. They're gonna be the exact same as the Beta ones =), just 2 weeks late.

And that they are official, and not in beta form.![rolleyes.gif]()

And you don't need a modded .inf for NVIDIA's beta's, just for Quadro's and stuff.

With 270.51 crysis 2 has a strobe light effect and when it's not doing that my frames are nearly 30 fewer than with 267.84. It is obvious that these are different from the 270.51.
So who is to say which will be the final, whql driver? So yes, there is a difference.
And as for the quadro only comment, that is wrong. They drivers in your sig are not quadro, they are geforce that came out for one of the newer 500 series cards.
There is a difference. I have significantly lower frames in crysis 2 with the latest beta. I am using 267.84, same version as you.

Doesn't WHQL insinuate greater compatibility?

We're talking about completely different drivers here (different branches as well - R265 vs R270).
Maybe your rig doesn't get along with the 270.51s?.
Have you tried re-installing?

Quite the contrary, just that WHQL certification takes about a couple of weeks to go through.
Now, if you're comparing different driver builds, that's a whole another story.

It's not like they appear under GTX 470 when looking for new drivers.
There's a reason for that.
That's got nothing to do with the latest driver set not being WHQL.

Dude, if NVIDIA releases the 270.51 set as WHQL a couple of weeks later, that doesn't mean they've done some extra tunning/optimizations on it.

I was talking about Beta's for all cards, of course you'll need a modded .inf for drivers released exclusively for other cards.

There's no difference mate.
Either way, this looks like it's going nowhere, just wait for the WHQL then, we'll be enjoying exactly the same set a couple of weeks earlier =).
And just an FYI, the worst NVIDIA driver of all time was WHQL certified.

So.... yeah.

I have been primarily playing crysis 2 a lot, so this is very noticeable to me. And being that it is an nvidia sponsored game I expect better.
Because nvidia has been lacking in the driver department, IMO. You hear all the time about how much better the nvidia drivers are than the competition, but in my experience it is the other way around. Not everyone has the same results and experiences, of course. I just feel that nvidia hasn't been on the ball.

What about the beta drivers that allowed for an ati card to be present and use the nvidia card as phsyx, without the hack? That was not the same as the whql driver that was released right after it, that did not allow this. I only remember this because it was in the news. To nvidia, this was a flaw which was "fixed" in the whql version. So yes, there is a difference.
So you're saying that there is absolutely no difference whatsoever between WHQL and that they are exactly the same in every way?

WHQL always worked better for me. Beta is just that... beta
I know a lot of people with SLI setups 270.51 doesn't work. > http://www.overclock.net/12962465-post121.html
