Is it just me, or does the GTX 660 get better fps in Batman than the 680?

These are working just fine if anyone had problems with 306.97 they should try this one.

Is there any other place to download Nvidia drivers other then Nvidia?
Their site is so freaking slow

Here you go just uploaded it http://www.mediafire.com/?558cwc5fu9c103i

Preliminary testing on 310.33 Beta shows this driverset to be a -very- nice set
 
I highly suggest that users download and try out this Nvidia Beta
*If you have been using a 300.xx or above driver no uninstall is needed.
Just remember to uncheck start with Windows and then shut down Precision/Afterburner before attempting the install.
Run the installer in Custom mode with perform a Clean install checked and do a reboot after its done.
 
MANIAC gives this set a and users should take it for a spin 
 
 

No BF3 and PLanetside 2 improvements, no reason to update i guess.. Sticking with 306.97. 

Well my frames went down a little to around 150 in skyrim but Deus EX seems a little smoother.

This driver scored much lower than the 306.23 driver in 3Dmark11-
I give up Nvidia.............really I do
 310.33- http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/4737464 
 306.23- http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/4737606
500+ points is a huge loss especially 3 drivers later.............

Well, this driver seems to be excellent all around, the only Issue I'm seeing is poor fluidmark results after the update compared to the previous driver.  3dMark11 results are improved and everything runs smoothly.
 
EDIT: this does update the PhysX drivers so I assume that's why there's a discrepancy is Fluidmark results.  Batman AC benchmarks are slightly better so PhysX performance itself doesn't seem to take a hit.  As a side note I'm seem more stability with slightly higher overclocks on my 680 @ 131& PT

Took me less than a minute to download
 
306.97 was awful and switched to 306.23.  Gonna give these Beta drivers a spin when EVGA ships me a new 690.

Hi,
 
I just built my new gaming rig and I'm having trouble with my system. I joined this forum because someone referred me to you maniacvvv, but I can't pm you so in case someone reads this please pm maniac this message. I got a fx 8150 and gtx 570 asus and 8 gigs of ram. Now without overclocking the gpu and maxed settings bf3 will range inbetween 25-40 fps?!?! And when I overclock it,the game keeps crashing. I'm really desperate and hope you can shoot me an email at danielquerzola@yahoo.com.
 
Sincerely,
Dam
