I downloaded them last night but never got around to installing them. Was going to do so today. Will see if they are all they are cracked up to be.

Haven't these been out for a while? I installed them a few weeks back when I got my 680 (EVGA Classified)

In Beta probably yes, but official WHQL was definitely yesterday, Dec 17th. I tend to stick to WHQL myself these days so I know for certain it was yesterday. Congrats on the card BTW!

You are absolutely correct, this driver set is old. It was released as a WHQL candidate on December 4th and the exact same set was re-released yesterday WHQL certified.

WHQL are always older than the latest Betas

Doesn't seem that impressive to me with the exception of far cry 3, however improvements are always welcome.

How does nvidia keep improving performance of games? Are they coded kinda in a rush but then improve the drivers over time or what?
I'm not saying the gains are bad just I can't understand how they can keep improving the software to run faster :s

Tried it out this morning and had to downgrade, I could not get my monitor back to 1920X1200 it was maxed out at 1920X1080, kind of a weird issue, but my screen wasn't scaling correctly on top of that

Installed it on my 550TI since their site said it was the latest for it

Nvidia cards have universal drivers.

I don't know about your card; I got a Gigabyte GTC 650 Ti. Im very pleased with it.

Downloading those drivers now.
