for the drivers suck because the colour artifects which dont appear in the 163 release and nvidia dont want to fix it

Is your video card overclocked? If yes, try declocking and see if it helps...

No overclocked, temps are in around 60-70 during load and looks like there are many who are having these issues as on the NVIDIA forum

There's something evil in that driver... I sense it...

What's different between these and the 169.01 betas that came out a few days ago? Anyone know?

These drivers do suck. Head on over here for tweaked drivers. I have been using them for years and they are great.

How are they tweaked as such and what performance upgrades do you expect from tweaked drivers?

This driver really improves the performance in Crysis in Vista32 (at least for me)
