Nvidia Outs Beta Driver to Fix Overclocking Bug
Overclocking is back!
Last week we found out from Nvidia that a driver bug held back some functionality of overclocking control panels for those who like the tweak the clock speeds of their GeForce GPUs.
Nvidia today rolled out its fixed drivers, but rather than waiting for any WHQL certification, the graphics company put them out in a beta form.
Grab them from the links below if you like to be the master of your clock speeds.

Gin Fushicho Eh? So... eVGA took care of my overclocking problem already. Nvidia should just work on they're next drivers.Reply -
noodlegts Nvidia need to take less time making drivers and renaming cards, and spend more time making new cards.Reply -
masterjaw ^ Renaming cards? yes they should stop.Reply
But in the case of drivers, it should be updated regularly to deal with bugs and fixes plus support for new games.

crazymech Can't believe you guys. nVidia pressed out a driver as fast as they could to make sure the peoples problems were fixed, you should praise them for that. I'm sure they can push out Fermi right now aswell, it's just that availability will suck because not that many are produced yet, and there's probably still driver issues.Reply
Rather wait 1 month longer for a real quality product, than to wait 1 month less for a crap product.
We all know people are never happy anyways. -
Jerky_san I shun nvidia for purposely limiting me in my abilities of physX if i don't meet their "standards"Reply -

People will always find something to complain about, yet so few people actually can say something positive.
