GEFORCE BETA DRIVER 344.16

[Infinity7]

GeForce beta driver 344.16 is out at NVidia for desktop cards. At this time, there aren't any newer release notes. You'll need to use a modified inf file to be able to install it for use with desktop cards which are not in the 900 series.

You'll need to boot up Windows in disable driver signature mode to be able to install it for use with desktop cards which are not in the 900 series also. You can use the same inf file that was in the 344.11 drivers.

EDIT: An NVidia rep has now said that this driver is the same as driver 344.11, except that it has a compatibility fix for 980 and 970 cards.

It is noteworthy to point out that

 

the WHQL driver (approved by Microsoft) has some compatibility issues, and

 

the BETA driver (not approved by Microsoft) is more stable than the WHQL driver.

 

Those people who often say "I'm going to wait for the WHQL driver" will appreciate the irony here.

Ah the joys of rushing drivers to meet a release deadline

And proves WHQL is a sham, MS obviously don't do too much testing, probably will the driver install
