WoW very nice 32 betas for 32 bit now a hanful for 64 bit wtf????

[Lith1um]

Yeah, the divide has formed. It appears nvidia has decided it's cheaper to concentrate on x32 and just spit out the occasional x64 drop.

I guess it doesn't matter anyway, unless you play benchmarks and time demos you aren't gonna get any support. Used to be I could install almost any nvidia driver, beta or otherwise and everything almost always worked. We installed them to see what had been fixed, or where performance had improved. Now I install them to see what nvidia has broken, like vsync in fsx or digital vibrance.

Funny, by now I thought we would see a robust driver and features like the display optimization wizard reappearing.

[Buio]

At least with several new unofficial beta drivers I'd believe we will see an official beta driver not to far away and then also a x64 version.

I can't wait to try out the new Nvidia video options (dynamic contrast etc), and custom timings :(

[Shocky]

Still no new 64bit drivers, :thumbdwn:
