I saw those too on guru3d.

Are there later drivers for audio and what not. Basically how do these relate to the 6.11's, are the memory drivers and stuff updated?

Any benches?

I've never been a big fan of beta chipset drivers, especially Nforce ones. I'll stick to the perfectly stable WHQL ones - let someone else find the bugs in the new versions .

LoL! Mem, I'm busy trying to get an X800 Pro I recently acquired tuned up properly. I saw those over at NForcersHQ but I'm holding off for a while.

Alright i only ran 3dMark 03. I might run more later but here are my results.

6.11: 5831
6.14: 5867

Not much... well within the margin of error. Things seems a bit snappier, also some improcements to the SW Drivers and the Ethernet drivers.

It wont hurt to upgrade but it aint gonna help much either.

I installed the audio and networking.

Sound seems to have a more 'robust' midrange, without losing the great high end crispness of the 6.11's

Network driver has no CPU usage.

i installed them all the first day, havnet had a single problem.. i dont use onboard sound though (but someone already reported it works good) the ethernet works fine.. the agp is fine.. seems like a solid stable release
