I would recommend to uninstall your drivers if you use newer beta(leaked) drivers.

how, from where? I know you have to go to Start->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs and remove your old drivers but what else should i do? like .inf or something

Running them right now(6.67), there are a few glithces here and there, and Coolbits doesn't seem to work(no OCing that I have found yet).

The most notable glitch that I have seen so far is the shadows in Giants seem to be corrupted, but performance seems to be improved quite a bit(and it is very much needed in this game:)).

Installing them is a bit odd, you first need to point the install to the "Disk1" folder, then skip the missing file, then point it back to the parent directory you extracted it to.

OpenGL performance seems a bit off at lower resolutions and higher resolutions, and gamma seems to have been bumped up quite a bit(first time I ever recall turning the brightness down, half way down, in Quake2 in game). No actual benchmarks here, all I'm worried about currently is how well Giants performs(everything else is plenty fast enough) and these drivers seem to be the best so far in that one area.

I replaced the nvcpl.dll file with the 6.49's file and Coolbits worked fine but i had a different problem. For some reason, i can't disable Twin View when i use the 6.67 (i have a Twin View Plus MX), it just keeps kicking me back to Extended Desktop. Other than that, everything else seems to be ok. Didn't bother to run any benchmarks, though. Anyway,i swicthed back to 6.31 cuz it's the most stable and trouble free for my sys.
