Sweet, I was just about post this one. Nice to see some launch day support from Nvidia.

Oh boy that's three updates since last time. Hope they're more optimized, if curiosity killed the cat, this will most probably do the trick as well.

Same or newer version found on install for Physx. Game ran really well anyway, I'm hoping there's a little more graphic options on release but we'll see. Pretty damn excited right now!

That looks pretty nice. Just one question, though, as a total noob to this sort of thing. Should I download the earlier beta drivers first, or will they be "included" in this one?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm doing it anyway. I probably coulda googled it, too.

This can only be an improvement over the previous beta driver.

No, video drivers are always removed by the installer and then the new ones added.

As an old habit I clean the drivers off the system first then do a full install of the newer drivers.
And when I say clean, it's uninstall then run a ccleaner on the registry, After that I feel better about the Beta Drivers.

Like I said old habit.....

Uhm don't do that. Only ever install the newest version of a driver unless there is some issue with said driver. You never install drivers in order, just pick one.

Installing a whole bounch of beta drivers in order will almost certainly result in you experiencing issues.

For anyone wanting to know the do's and don't's about driver installation.

You need only download the latest version, when you run the file it will extract to a folder: C\:Nvidia say. Any version you download will be in there and you can run their individual setups to rollback if needs be, or delete any that you don't need, but you don't need any other than the 310.61 in this instance.

Supports single GPU and NVIDIA SLI technology on DirectX 9, DirectX 10, DirectX 11, and OpenGL, including 3-way SLI, Quad SLI, and SLI support on SLI-certified Intel and AMD motherboards.

Most important part for me, as quad sli made me freeze or bluescreen on the last relase
