    stole this from larva's post on the =VF= forums. Looks to be some boosts for Unreal3 based games....

    GeForce BETA 163.71 WHQL Drivers
    These look like release candidates, especially since the version# is the same indicating that only bug fixes have been made since the last version. It includes a lot of game-compatibility improvements for some of the recent games we've started playing, including BioShock, Quake Wars and Team Fortress 2.
