    :O Two WHQLs in a row?

    I don't see any changes for BF3 but I'll give it a try.

    Anyone here has tried the new NVIDIA update? And is there any differences in the performance of any games?

    Well, I've been playing ME3 with these drivers.
    I can at least say the performance is as smooth as 295.73 was.
    I'll try Skyrim later and see how it goes.

    I'm using them right now as well, played Skyrim and it feels a tad smoother than on 295.73, really stable drivers so far.
