    Damn beat me to it. Yeah I have installed it. Although unlike previous versions, with this one, it asks you to restart whereas others just installed it all in one go. Good thing I guess. No modded inf is needed and brightness control is still present for the 460m GTX. Keeping for now and I shall report on the gaming tomorrow. Won't vote just yet. But good for now and stable. Custom refresh rates also work well.

    Well, you were faster in installing and start testing the new driver. I'm working on that right now :)

    This driver is a older registered developer (test) driver. The next official Nvidia Verde WHQL driver should be newer than this.

    I can confirm, the " NVIDIA Update Component" was a Windows Service to check for new driver versions.
