Meh who cares. New drivers used to be a big deal but now my feelings is just...meh they come out with drivers so often that it just is old now. My GTX 550Ti drivers are fine so I'm not changing unless they randomly start to cause problems.
 
Yea I'm a bit at ends here with the lateness of this article this came out yesterday many other tech sites were on top of this. The WHQL version was talked about to be coming out next week on the official nvidia forums. So for most they will want to wait till next week to get the finished product.

Last year, Tom's hardware did a driver comparison of a 5850 (I think). They compared drivers from launch to the latest one, and noticed that the 5850's performance increased to a 5870's level from just updating from the launch drivers to the latest ones.

It is news. Go and read the notes, some significant perf. updates. My GW2 now runs smoother.

I remembered also that the week after that article, they did the same thing with the GTX 480. I would like Toms to do another one of these performance reports on how drivers have improved two-three years after the release of the Fermi architecture.

This really starts to level the playing field since AMD's latest beta versions of Catalyst 12.11. Nvidia's previous driver launch didn't quite level it out, but this may have done the trick, especially since it's getting more games to support TXAA.

Now, if only Tom's could be more up to date with their news...

I already had the latest drivers (306.97) and they worked fine. There is no reason for me to switch drivers.

These performance improvements were made available in the previous couple of betas, this is merely a bug fix release.
 
[citation][nom]andy5174[/nom]Do they re-enable OC? After OCed, My gtx460 crashes with any version after 275.33...[/citation]
Get Nvidia System Tools. Install the performance tool (aka NTune) and you can OC from the control panel, if you don't want to use MSI afterburner or RivaTuner.

I did use MSI Afterburner to OC my card. Will give Nvidia System Tools a try.

Thank you!
