NVIDIA GeForce v301.40 Beta 64bit & 32bit

Could the topic be changed to something like "AMD & NVIDIA GPU drivers"?

A bit off topic but since this is a drivers thread and Hazelnut made a good point about Win 8 and drivers I though I'd share this article about tuning drivers for win8

hazelnut we don't have a dedicated win8 preview thread (could not find by sight (did not search, cannot remember)???

My understanding is that NVidia has been more so speed, while ATI/AMD has been more about higher quality 3D.
Of course, faster hardware has blurred the lines in modern cards, I would presume.

And AMD has thrown nice hardware behind making higher quality pretty fast.

At the moment, I prefer AMD 3D.

My current rig is AMD, but I'm considering going nVidia for my next build.

Both's high-end GPUs are good, but I had some negative experience with my last NVIDIA card (and the drivers) which was 8800GTS (512MB). Currently I've AMD HD6950 2GB and no need to replace it yet. Probably will buy another AMD next time I'll upgrade, but you'll never know.
