What is the difference between WHQL and Beta? Which one is better to me?

[Gerraour]

Hello ,

I'm confused right now. I have my laptop with GT 720M. I'm searching for a right driver but i don't know what will i choose because there's WHQL and Beta.

Would you explain me what is WHQL and Beta? And which one is good for me?
if it's WHQL , what is the good driver version for now?
if it's Beta , What is the good driver version for now?

Thanks

WHQL is tested by Microsoft to work in Windows.
Beta is just that, not 100% guaranteed to work right, it is still unproven.

Windows Hardware Quality Labs. Basically means that it is tested to a global standard that certifies it for use on nearly any Windows platform. Beta drivers have not passed this test and are not guaranteed to work with everything. However, new features and bug fixes will be in Beta drivers.

The time to use them is when something is not working correctly, the beta driver may fix your issue sooner then waiting for the next WHQL release.
