Has anyone tried the new NVIDIA 301.24 beta drivers on their G series notebook?

I'm very curious how this driver will work with the G74.

Never even heard of it. Are you sure it's for mobile GPUs?

Positive. These are nvidia's newest beta drivers - and, they're for both desktop and mobile gpus. Look here


Anyone whose tested these drivers out, please let me know how they turn out.

I've tried this driver, but I don't see any changes

That downloads the 32 bit drivers, so make sure you get the 64 bit ones.

Incidentally, the beta drivers have fixed my issue with the "graphics driver has stopped working blah blah snore...." errors.
