Those who ordered Medal of Honor will be treated to early access to Battlefield 3 beta on September 27. The Battlefield 3 series will feature some of the best graphics currently on the market -- currently an astonishing 84% of gamers do not meet the recommended requirements for Battlefield 3. Because of this, NVIDIA has released the next rev of GeForce drivers in anticipation of the upcoming title; additionally, NVIDIA has introduced a new utility (called the Analyzer) that will test your rig specifications and tell you whether or not you can run the game on your current GPU.

Additionally, the 285.38 beta drivers for the GTX series GPUs will help optimize the performance in id Software's Rage, due to release next month. We've also been told that they should update profiles for SLI when playing Dead Island, Batman: Arkham City, Dragon Age II, and new profiles for Diablo III, Need for Speed: The Run, and Saints Row: The Third.

Steve started GamersNexus back when it was just a cool name, and now it's grown into an expansive website with an overwhelming amount of features. He recalls his first difficult decision with GN's direction: "I didn't know whether or not I wanted 'Gamers' to have a possessive apostrophe -- I mean, grammatically it should, but I didn't like it in the name. It was ugly. I also had people who were typing apostrophes into the address bar - sigh. It made sense to just leave it as 'Gamers.'"

First world problems, Steve. First world problems.
