Hmmmm, may give these a try and see if they fix some niggles I have with using Tridef.

If they do, then may keep 670 over 7950 Vapor X.
 
If they are like the last 2 betas, I will skip these. Fed up of instability and would prefer stable over performance.
 
Hitman performance isn't good on these....about 40-50 average with 4xmsaa....without 60-80.(mind you it is a great looking game so perhaps performance isn't supposed to be sky high. :p)

+1

Best drivers for quad sli are 301.42 the newer drivers cause system instability and freezes.

This is a very poor show from nvidia.

Lots of reports of that on the last 2 betas and I noticed it when I ran the Operation Swordbreaker mission to check if fps had increased (which they hadn't).

Try different maps, different maps have different properties, on the AMD 12.11 Drivers the performance increase was 10% some maps, 15% on others and 20% on others again.

Maybe but after seeing the stutter, I wasn't interested any further tbh. I left the drivers on and decided to watch Fringe on VLC and it put windows 7 into basic mode and I didn't get a picture. A restart sorted that but after 10 mins it did it again. I rolled back to 306.23 WHQL with no further error or stutter.

Crap drivers and disappointed. Nvidia need a kick up the....
