Yeah this has been the longest delay in driver updates for them in quite a long time.

Re: NEW nVidia driver GeForce Release 175

Wonder why Nvidia site does not offer the beta driver 175.70? I searched all over the entire site and can not find it. Looks like they would have it before anybody else would have a release for it. I usually run the beta's but I only download them from Nvidia's web site.

Re: NEW nVidia driver GeForce Release 175

I have been running 175.70 for about a week with no major issues or bugs. The 175.xx seem to be a bit of improvement on management of specific applications. I agree that it is odd that NVidia has been really slacking lately on posting beta updates. I hate the fact that I have to go to guru3d for my drivers in a timely fashion.
