Wheres big big bang 2 drivers

[MUFC4EVER]

Supposed to be launched today officially. Where are they?

Meant to be the dogs boll**ks so what's up? Loads of new games but no WHQL driver WTF!!

Are they real or just another NVidia paper launch that might arrive in months from now?

Shame on you. Beta drivers are not official and not supported.

Cheers

WHQL is a joke

WHQL is a joke

Might be a joke but at least WHQL drivers are supported. Beta's are not.

All the major sites have benchmarked the drivers and say its the next big bang and its due on 17/11. No show so what's going on?

That's all I'm asking LOL.

i still not sure what you are talking about, supported by what? by who? is there some secret WHQL policy going around knocking on people doors checking their drivers.

maybe that is why driver got delayed? but considering that many of those games are in nvidia TWIMTBP program, they should be optimized already.
