    Just noticed the Asus support site now has Forceware 176.28. The download is around 330Mb. Anyone know why it's so big? What extra stuff is included? :confused:

    *EDIT*

    I downloaded it and it is big because Asus included all the drivers for all 4 OS in the single zip. ***.

    Any news on performance/thermal changes?

    I've been running Nvidia 177.79 drivers for months now and they're the best I've ever tried.

    Drivers are nothing special. Performance is slightly lower than usual, temps are pretty much the same as usual.
