Maybe I'm missing something, but except for TXAA these drivers are exactly the same as the 304.48s

i thought nvidia was great about releasing drivers. but since i got the 680 i feel like they've come to a screeching halt.

The 670 and 680 are cards that are pretty much maxed out performance wise out the box. Even OCing them doesn't really seem to bring much in the way of improvements. Thats why I halted my trigger finger to see what a few months of newer drivers would do for the cards.

i had a good benefit Ket from this drivers went form 17568 3DM11 (2 tests) to 17770 (again 2 tests), in games all is good and i dont use lucid as it doesnt work for me as im on SLI and RAID

cheers!

I'll give these drivers a go, keep getting GPU lockups in Skyrim with the 304.48 drivers. My GPU seems to get crazy hot with the 304.48 drivers too, like 90c+ 100% load, 302.59s @ 100% load was about 78c.

After using these drivers for a couple days or so, they are for keeps. Skyrim is now running normally again and GPU temps have returned to normal, the driver also seems to be working fine with the other games I tried (Metro, Stalker, ME3).

Yeah, I haven't been happy Nvidia's driver team since switching to a 680.

Mostly a fix for some of their screwups with the last beta like Dues Ex running at 2 fps or Civ V crashing in DX11. There was a couple of other issues too.
