Flatout ultimate carnage poor frame rates in 3D

Hi, had this game for ages and played it to death on my gtx 580 but when in 3D it struggled a bit when the game was maxed out.
So, just upgraded to the gtx 680 which is running at 1215mhz and thought i'd give the game another go with 3D to see if it would run any better at max settings.
What a disaster, it runs terrible, frame rates were even dropping as low as 29fps, I have lowered the graphics settings to see if this would help things along but no matter what I do or what setting I put it on it runs rubbish.

I then decided to give it a go without 3D and maxed the game out again, hey presto 100+ fps, so it would appear it's just a 3D thing, Has anyone here played the game in 3D with a 680? if so, what fps are you getting? any suggestions has to why it's not running to good in 3D?

Thanks.

Turn the resolution down. I had a problem with flatout 2 in 3d where i would run at 120+fps at 1920x1080 and when i turned 3d on i would go down to 15fps. To fix this i just turned the resolution down to half 1280x768 i think and it worked perfectly.

Try using Shell V-Power

Just tried lower res but still the same, couldn't do it in 1280x768 though as it wont run in 3D on my computer at that res, 1680x1050 didn't offer anything better. My be the drivers, will wait to see if newer ones improve things when they are released, here's hoping.
