    Is it worth it to update my GT650M GDDR5 (Overclocked to GTX660M levels) with the newest NVIDIA drivers? Is it possible it will give me better performance in any games other than the games listed by the change list? Also, is it possible to get higher overclock with a new driver than with an old driver in the past?

    From what I've read so far people didn't get visible performance improvement from 306.97. It is stable though so you can try it yourself, you never know maybe you'll see some difference.
