A couple of comments... You may understand the concept of a BETA but you don't get it... A BETA rarely runs as well as open code does for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the fact that debug code is all over the place, they haven't optimized their servers, they haven't implemented all the servers...
Yeah I'm fairly certain we're not getting the concept of what a BETA is or is for... It's not a playability beta it's them letting you on to test get free testing from people excited about their game so they don't have to pay people to test it. And since we're in open beta it means there are a lot of these people doing the same thing you are on code that's still being tested on servers which are still being tested.
I've seen betas go from totally terrible response times in game to fantastic releases (WoW being a prime example) in under 4 weeks (the normal time I've seen open betas last).
If they've told you to update your graphics card/driver have you considered rolling back to an earlier driver? Who told you? Was it the development team? Did they actually know what a graphics card was and what driver the software requires... or at least has been tested on for your card?
Beta is Beta, if you can't hack the lag, the constant server resets and the buggy code, don't participate in beta tests... wait for open and then when you're paying you can complain.
