LOL.. I check in every now and then to see if anything has improved, but it seems to be the same old same old.. I'm still using the old 285.62 drivers - been rock solid on my vanilla 580's... the 29X.XX WHQL series were not good, and I have not bothered with the 301.42 WHQL or any betas after all the issues I've read. What the heck is going on with NVidia? They used to have it together, but heck, they just can't seem to get it right anymore. As I mentioned on another thread, this continued bs is starting to make me think about the AMD cards.. HD 7970 seems pretty nice, and if they can push out drivers that work.. well...

Yeah, I've been waiting for ATI/AMD to accomplish this since I got rid of my ATI 9800Pro... don't hold your breath.

Confirmed that Intel DZ77GA-70K mobo latest BIOS update breaks SLI for 304.79 and newer drivers... Just thought I would update that I've discovered this is a known bug with the Intel DZ77GA-70K extreme gaming board. Apparently recent intel BIOS (starting at 004x) updates have broken SLI mode for Nvidia drivers 304.79 and newer. Intel has been made aware of the problem and appears they are working on a fix. current workarounds are: (1) F7 flash to older 0035 intel BIOS update and continue using newer drivers in SLI (2) Use current WHQL drivers from NVIDIA (pre-304.79 beta) or older drivers if you don't want to back-flash to 003x BIOS. (3) Remove second GPU from system until newer fixed BIOS is released. The bug occurs in both Win7 and Win8 RTM. For Win 8 RTM, you can only back-flash to previous BIOS for SLI fix or remove 2nd gpu until new BIOS update is release due to 304.79 being only officially supported drivers as of current.

Nvidia have released a new WHQL driver for the new 660 Ti. 305.68 - WHQL http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/47460 The driver details say that it supports all 600 series cards. Has anyone had a chance to try it out with anything other than a 660 Ti?
System Specs 1 x calculator, 1 x fatherboard, 2 x data storage, 2 x picture makers, 3 x viewports, 1 x butan masher, 1 x rodent, 1 powerplant. :colbert:

When I search for drivers for my 680 on their site, it gives me the ones from May. If I choose 660ti as my model, it gives me that one. Also, on the link you posted, it says 600 series supported cards and then only lists the 660 under that. Maybe they can be made to work for other cards with a moded inf, but at least the Nvidia site doesn't seem to say they are for any cards but 660s.

Oh right. I guess I misunderstood the supported model listing.
