Differnet drivers from EVGA and Nvidia???

[M Diddy]

Guys, any idea why the driver download from EVGA's site is Forceware 163.11 for Vista 32 and the drivers directly from NVidia's site are 158.24??? What the difference here and which would you recommend?

I noticed this as well. The one from evga I think is the beta and the nvidia one is not.

Right, eVGA has the beta drivers.

right since nv does not directly sell to consumers, nv is giving EVGA betas to give to customers to use.

Thus consumers sue eVGA and not Nvidia directly. Or is it other way around? Some one will get sued.

well it could be both depending on situation.

Well, just for reference guys, I lost over 100 points in 06 when I installed the beta's from EVGA's site. Going back to the tested drivers from N.....

well if you lost 100points then what was it the beta's were suppose to fix. cause if it fixes issues with games you play its a small trade off imo. I dought any one can tell a difference in 2 rigs that are 100points off in 3dmark06.

Don't mean anything by it. Not a big fan of beta drivers anyway... I'd much rather wait until the tested ones come out to use them is all.... ;)
