And from Tweakguides.com today,

 

Nvidia Beta 84.25 Forceware

23 March 2006

 

Nvidia have released a new Beta 84.25 Forceware which has listed as its only new change over the previous 84.21 official drivers 'General Compatibility Fixes'.

 

Sounds like Nvidia weren't quite on their toes enough.

Guess that depends on your view. Is the glass half full or half empty? At least, they keep adding support for hardware acceleration of new formats and seem to be fairly bug free with the official releases. Like any company, they always have a test version (beta) going to improve their product.
