DONT install these. At least if you have a GTX 570

I had 280.26 where everything was working fine. Upgraded to these and heaven benchmark crashed with a d3d app warning. Reverted to 280.26s and now still doesnt work. Just about to run driver sweeper, might just run a clone from my backup drive
 
If I buy a AMD 7 series then i know i'll miss these nice drivers. Unless someone can tell me AMD/ATI have equally nice drivers with performance improvement surprises?

I've installed them on my GTX 2xx :p, But do games work ok?. Don't think it was the drivers perhaps just a borked install as you said the 280's don't work either.

:(
 
They did before I install the 285.27 betas. I'm now back on my 280.26 with no problems (after running driver sweeper and reinstalling them)
