    Nvidia driver installer improved.

    Some nice driver news coming out
    Beta is out of the new driver which includes a new installer and wait for it... a clean install option!
    No more uninstalling the old drivers manually, running a cleaner and then installing new drivers!

    Nvidia 260.63 Beta Driver Offers Improved Install

    Specifically, the custom install options allow users to choose which driver components to install, including PhysX, 3D Vision and more. Also, for the advanced users that prefer to uninstall their older driver first, or rely on 3rd party driver cleaner software to completely remove older drivers, NVIDIA Install offers the choice of a clean install. During the clean install process, your older driver is completely removed from your system before seamlessly installing the new driver. Users will also notice that NVIDIA Install is faster, especially in the case of systems with multiple GPUs."

    Some sweet frame boosts there. If they keep going like this, eventually my GTX480 will meet the performance promises.
