nope, everything is awesome with them, benchmark scores are a little lower and the max FPS in tests are a little lower, but this is made up by higher minimum and average framerates.
games are just more silky smooth.

Unfortunately I experienced problems once i restarted, the Log in screen on windows did some kind of artifacting, followed by a bsod. I'm going to wait till these drivers finish the beta 
^^ Same case as me, you should consider cutting a hole out on the mobo tray so you can root the CPU power cable around the back of the mobo, looks a lot neater.

Lol, i know, i've been meaning to do it for ages... I actually have one of those NZXT Braided extensions but keep forgetting to do it... 
What volts did you use to get your 480 @850 Raven? MSI AB keeps resetting if i try to up it a little, mine dont like it over 830...
Also loving the work with the fan blowing up to the 480.

I'll wait until they are certified I reckon
@ V_R
Yeah I keep the side panel on so I need some extra internal cooling to keep the 480 at 80C with a custom fan profile. The card is an EVGA SC and comes with higher stock volts than standard 480's, in this case 1.75v, I don't need to change this for 850 on the core. I can't see why you can't max the volts out in AB, use the latest version if not already.

Yeah 1.175, stock volts can vary depending on vendor, most range from 1.000v to 1.125v
You're interpreting the volt numbers wrong, in afterburner mine reads 1075v.

Were can i get the beta drivers?
Sorry in my previous post I meant to say 1.075 (not 1.175), because I thought 1.075 was the stock voltage for all GTX480's but you seemed to suggest yours was higher than normal.
It's measured in mV in AfterBurner, 1075mV/1.075V is the same thing just different way of saying it.

Yeah I'm confused now lol 1075 is not stock volts for stock 480's, it's 1.000v-1.025v
Asus and MSI may set higher stock volts than other AIB's as they promote overclocking with their cards big time, the rest are in the range I stated unless they they are manufacturer overclocked models.
They are up on nvidia's website, you have to search on the beta and archived drivers section.
I imagine it's the limit due to the amount of heat generated rather than being a hard limit, these cards are really amazing when water cooled.
