    ^^ If you OC on GPU, try notch down little bit and see if they are stable.

    No problems since I installed this driver. No TDR, no more hard-locks and games runs good too. I play BF3, SC2, BatmanAC, Dota2 and MW3. All games runs fine with no issue.

    I call BS.
    Uninstall physx and then the driver - reboot - driver sweep and cclean - reboot - install driver with 3dvision and physx - reboot
    Never had an issue with that, works every time.

    Not needed unless something is broken.

    Only issue i have in BF3 is when flying at high ceiling, then ground texture starts to shimmer. i have a POV gtx560ti 2g card. Otherwise nice and smooth.

    i actually did it that way this time around, since the physx is outdated in these :D
    i do agree though usually it works just fine.

    I just wish Nvidia would make a better uninstaller method with less rebooting. cant uninstall graphics driver and audio drivers in one go :(

    I'm still getting TDR / Driver Kernel Crashes while playing World of Warcraft inn maximized (fullscreen) windowed mode on my 120Hz monitor. What might cause this I have no idea, was the same with the latest BETA and it might be something to do with dual-screening with 1x Samsung S23A700 (23", 1920x1080@120Hz) and 1x Dell UltraSharp U2711 (27", 2560x1440 @ 60Hz) that causes some wired driver issues, I don't really know.

    Rolling back to modified Quadro / Tesla drivers from 9th of February of the gold old 27x.xx branch (276.52) seems to solve all stability issues I have been faced with running the past months GeForce BETA and the latest WHQL drivers, but at the expense of some performance.


    Now that nVIDIA have release a Telsa / Quadro version of 295.73 I might just try those as well, though I have a hard time believing a modified Tesla / Quadro version of the same driver will do much.


    Yes, I do all my driver installations the old fashion way of first backing up with nVIDIA Inspector, removing / uinstalling from programs and features, running Drive Sweeper, boot into Safe Mode and run Drive Sweeper once more before installing newer drivers. Just to be sure I'm not faced with awkward driver update bugs.

    FYI 295.73 WHQL fixed my 3b stop errors when rebooting on GTX580 4way SLI with surround activated on R4E X79 chipset! Me Happy! :)

    Drivers are good for me. Tested Skyrim and FIFA 12. Performance is fantastic.

    You sure about FIFA 12?
    I get 30 FPS during replays /animations.
    It should be constant 60 FPS Vsync on :(

    I've confirmed with nvidia that these drivers do NOT fix TDR issues. Also, known issue is with physics drivers with this release and DX11 games having graphic problems.

    DX10/9 is fine.

    this is really strange. Anyone can confirm this pls.

    After installing nvidia drivers i realised today my win7 Power options back to Balanced, i am %100 sure it was performance. 2 mins ago i opened my weekly movies and i see stutter at videos, 1st thing i thought this driver also again have the memory leak, then checked power options and it was at "balanced", switch to performance and videos playing normal now. i have no idea if this is caused by nvidia drivers or other things, just asking here maybe someone else also experiencing this. thx

    That's a surprise, I thought TDR fixes were to be incorporated in the drivers after the 290 series.

    Just tested Skyrim, FIFA 12 and Crysis 2. All maxed out graphical options (+ tweaks and mods), limited to 60fps in Nvida Inspector. All running 60fps with a few dropped frames here and there.
