Been using them since Friday with no problems. 3dMark scores are a little higher than with 2942's, nothing crazy though. Image quality is just as good. Overall look to be a nice set of drivers.

I've heard really mixed reports on them. Some seem be getting similar performance levels, and image quality... others have reported marginal performance gains, and I've heard a dozen or so people comment it thrashed their system forcing them to re-install.... others have been saying they lost has much as 40% performance.

Personally I'd pass until there is a more general consensus on the 30.30 drivers, and if your resent drivers are already doing nicely there is little reason to risk the problems some have reported with them.

It raised my 3dmark score by 20 points :p

But the cool thing about them is that they have AWESOME image quality. It was actually noticable on my machine. Very clear. Go get 'em.

I tried them out...it was soso...i did notice glitches or drop frames every second tho...i am not sure if it was the iaa 2.3beta or the nvidia's 30.30 driver...but i did go back to my 29.42 omega drivers...they seem to be the best...glitches is still there...but not as noticable...wonder what it is...

I think I'll wait for them to go final, my pc is very stable right now and I'm pretty happy with the 29.42 drivers. Don't like the performance hit with using anisotropic filtering though with both my GF4 MX440 and Ti4600.
