First version of this utility will support all EVGA GTX 260 65nm, 280 and 295 cards.

Will work ONLY on EVGA graphics cards, and ONLY for EVGA registered users.

Check out the below ...

This one also includes the new PhysX Engine I previously posted and they say this release is "optimized" for Mirror's Edge. I wonder if this will fix the Fallout 3 issues reported with the official 181.20 driver set?.

Edit:

Scavenger, a few people are reporting that these Betas fixed Fallout 3 for them so you should give them a try. I had mentioned to Blue before, that I bet that they come out with a ...
