I don't really care too much if performance increase isn't huge, the biggest issue with all these (174+ drivers and countless, useless betas) is stability - they're always failing me and freezing up my system at the worst possible moments. Naturally I want performance too but i'll be real glad if the damn things simply work for a change. Stability seems to be a real issue for Nvidia drivers at the moment so I think these drivers are going to need a thorough testing phase.

Well not a single problem so far, performance is good so is stability. Well still hoped they'll be faster

PS also liked more the old comment system

Well if you can have some of the forums using the older but PREFERRED system why not for this one as well???

These drivers suck. Compared to 174.74 I got a noticeable drop across all previously tested benchmarks. No image quality improvement noticeable either. Back to 174.74 I guess. Has anyone compared 175.12 to 174.74 or 175.16 for that matter?

I will give the 174 set a look over the weekend but these drivers work well for me even though i have not run any benchmarks
