GeForce.com now offers new beta version 290.36 drivers for NVIDIA graphics cards. Here's an overview:

The new NVIDIA GeForce 290.36 beta drivers are now available to download. Recommended for gamers diving into Batman: Arkham City, the drivers also add official support for Ambient Occlusion in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Furthermore, a Battlefield 3 fix is included to combat the random appearance of triangular artifacts, a SLI shadow bug is stamped out in Crysis 2, and Settlers 7 corruption is eliminated.

On the tech side, the 290.36 beta drivers enable NVIDIA Surround on newly-released X79 SLI-certified motherboards, and native 3D Vision DisplayPort 1.1 connections are now possible on BenQ XL2420T and BenQ XL2420TX monitors.

How long has that game been out and they (id Software) haven't addressed the low res textures and texutre pop-in issues, or even an update to status of? It was ATI that has universal texture issues as far as I know. I never had pop-in on my nVidia card. There is a setting in the options menu for better texture streaming, did you have that on? As for higher quality textures that was rumored but is not a promise as of yet.
