Dets 40.41 Bug:

Matt at 3DGPU sent this over today. NVIDIA's Brian Burke responds in regards to the Anisotropic Filtering slider issue they found in the new 40.41 Dets and how the problem is being addressed. Here’s a snip:

The default setting on the new driver and the old driver are both the same. The problem that is being identified is a bug that occurs when the AF settings are changed. It seems that once the AF slider is moved away from 0 to another setting, then back to 0 again, it triggers a bug that causes the control panel to misread the register setting. That setting is not point sampling, but it is something less than 0. The only way to "reset" back to true 0 is by reinstalling the driver or deleting the registry setting. We are going to fix this bug and others and submit the new BETA driver to WHQL, before the driver moves from BETA to "official".
