I'm kinda hesitant to install new drivers from NVIDIA after I got a bunch of "display driver not responding" errors with the ones that came just before. Reverting to older ones fixed it, though.

I'm going to hold off on these, just because there will probably be another release next week with the launch of the GTX 680.

Although the 300 series drivers may have features only for the new .28nm DirectX 11.1 cards.

Another WHQL release, or another release? I'm guessing this is your WHQL. So then they can release multitudes of beta drivers for the new 600 series without having people itching for a WHQL.

I'll wait and see if the TDR issues have been resolved for my GTX 460, Windows 7/64, Asus P8P67 SB setup.
I've tried upgrading twice since 275.33 and hit the TDR issue.

No overclocking etc; seems that I have plenty of company on this issue and Nvidia have been dragging their feet correcting this.

Hopefully 296.10 addresses the issue....... please post any experience in this area!

Anyone know where I can find the list of "numerous bug fixes"?

Its been forever on my end ... running these new drivers as I type this and I've played with them for the past day or so. No TDLRs to report and games are working fine. Early 270's I had the TDLR issue, none since though.

Thanks for the feedback, this is encouraging....... please post if you see any issues in the next week.

Will do.

WTF? Read page 28, it says that if you have a 1920x1200 monitor, like I do, and use the HDMI, that you won't get audio, because the resolution is higher than 1920x1080.

Are they telling me that 1920x1200 + audio is outside the HDMI spec? Then why did they make my monitor like that, with that res, and audio capability over the HDMI?

I think NV is just limiting their cards via drivers or something.
