Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I have been using the vanilla nVidia 185.85 loving them to death and now DOX comes out with a heavily modified and wicked performing version. These are probably the best drivers he has made yet with actual, measurable performance gains in REAL games and the utmost stability.
If you have XP please stop living in the stone age. You won't get any DOX drivers on that old relic of an operating system.
Also if you have hybrid gpu or hybrid sli this driver fully supports them!
GO GET EM!!!

EDIT:
Ok, so DOX said himself that he doesn't make these driver to get synthetic benchmark results so if you see a loss in your 3dmark scores that *DOES NOT* mean you are getting less performance in games than your last driver. These drivers are optimized for *PLAYING GAMES* not watching some program that gives you a bunch of numbers every scrutinizes over 20 or 30 points! Play your games with this driver and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
I just had a couple rounds of Call of Duty World at War co-op with a friend and the drivers played very nicely. I ran a benchmark on Far Cry 2 and I gained an fps over the vanilla 185.85.
I personally did not like any of DOX's drivers after 182.05, but this one is a keeper for me! DOX himself said the drivers between 182.05 and 185.85 didn't have the full optimizations and they were experimental so I suggest going to these drivers and not looking back.
Yes this driver is only for Vista / Windows 7 DOX dropped XP support as he said he could not do any more with the drivers and he didn't enjoy modding them anymore.
The other thread about 185.85 are about the vanilla drivers not the DOX drivers and the thread is by *ME*. This is not a duplicate thread, but thanks for trying I guess?
Hope you guys like these drivers because so far they are great. I am going out now, but I will play some more games tonight and then report back about how the drivers are doing. So far so good though.
Happy gaming!

EDIT: I edited my OP with this so people would see it first -
Yeah it was experimental but I think I nailed it this release.
There was one conflicting setting in the drivers which limited their potential.
Ofc I did not know this until more testing of my own - hey I do not work for nvidia so how was I suppose to know?
No more XP release since it bores me to do them and all that can be done is done with them.
Hybrid support is in this release but maybe iffy not because its modded wrong, its just nvidia's code is not 100% yet. -

Cool...once i got 185.85 to work flawlessly, now i gotta do the clean installation again. Ah well, will try these and see if they improve my CRYSIS WARHEAD FPS as well as my Aion online frames per second rate.

I have no idea what it is
Sometimes I hit 45-50 fps (For some seconds), sometimes I go down to 10 fps. But around 27 -30 FPS I think it may is. It depends where in LC I drive
At airport I get 35-40 stable, I have also seen 50 at airport but it never goes down 30 -
