    Just installed, but haven't tried any games yet. At least hardware acceleration on flash is fixed now.

    It's basically a package that contains the fixes and improvements from 285.27 and 285.38, and the flash problem is fixed in this.

    Thanks for the input.
    I have been using the 275.33 as I have been reading lots of horror stories about the 28x series of drivers - black screens of death, CTDs etc. Normally am not so cautious about upgrading drivers!

    Been reading posts on the nvidia forum and guru3d forum - overall, the responses have not been too encouraging!

    Great performing drivers as i already mentioned elsewhere.

    Nice increase in almost everything, the most notable difference ive seen is in F1 2011.

    At ultra/no AA i was doing around 36 fps of average. Now im doing 44, pretty cool increase.

    I just installed this driver and noticed that the PhysX drivers don't come in this pack. So do I install the PhysX drivers from the old 285.3x beta pack? I run driver sweeper after uninstalling the old drivers and remove ALL nvidia components including the old PhysX drivers


    Edit: Sorry. It was there. It just didn't show up in the summary after I installed 285.62.

    I don't think these drivers work well with older games. My FPS in GTA4 went from 41.42 to 40.96. Damn. I thought it would've increased. :(
