    Before anyone else asks: Does this contain the v-sync stutter bug fix?

    I'm guessing the answer to that is no... :p

    looking into it...gonna ad some more info to these release notes...
    well, they didnt write anything about it so im unshure...

    still, im not shure im gonna install these cause i think the hardware mpeg4 (xvid) GPU Decoding isnt working anymore then (they fixed it in 300series drivers), so theres no need for me to use these..still im making a modded inf, but i wont test em , so i would be happy if someone posts the Branch number :)

    (taken form the 300 series quadro..)

    Yah 300.xx series introduced the VSync Stutter bug, anything prior to that should be fine. Granted I can't use these for my GTX680 afaik.

    Thank you sir, I've been waiting for these... I'm not moving to 300 series until they are positively fixed for that bunch of bugs!

    So far these drivers works very well.

    These will never change for our cards, they're embedded on the BIOS for them, changing this would mess the card detection by the drivers! ;) THX for the work, I'm lazy today, to change the inf myself...

    The 296.xx driver that came out for notebooks, did have the same stutter issue, those where made after the 300.xx series was released.

    I tried Diablo 3 with these, got no improvement over 300.83 or 301.72.
    And the stutter issue does seem to be still in there...

    Only 300.83 and 301.72 don't have the issue.
    Max Payne runs the same on both, but 301.72 has some texture glitches in mp3.

    Best to use 300.83 until nvidia releases a WHQL or good beta for the 680GTX.

    Problem is the 300.83 was never modified to work on all cards :(
