    Just installed this and so good so far. Used Driver Sweeper to remove the old drivers in Safe Mode.

    How can I display GPU temperature? I didn't see it in the Nvidia control panel.

    Temp has gone higher with this driver. I'm switching back to the 275.27 beta driver.

    Seems good to me, just did a benchmark OC'd at 770/1080, never got higher than 68C with 3dMark06 and got 14942.
    This is for the GT555m, I don't know if those drivers are for other cards, but I've got the 3GB GT555m.

    Going to do another just to check temps...no repaste, or chill pad.

    EDIT: Did it with Resident Evil 5, all settings High, Motion Blur on, AA 2x:
    Variable Bench: Avg 60.1 FPS, A
    Fixed Bench: Avg 65.7 FPS, A
    TEMPS at 70C

    I dont' know how good the 770/1080 OC is, or if it will damage the card that high...but my temps seem to be under control here, haven't tested on an extended game play session. I'll try that tomorrow.
