    Installed it just now. 3dMark11 scores went down a bit. Yet to see game improvements (if any) though. Hoping this will address the weird slowdown I get with BL2 and PhysX on.

    I'd be interested in this as well. I play with physx on high and once and a while I notice an FPS drop, not bad enough for me to lower physx setting though.

    Still the same for me. I think the only way is either for Gearbox to patch it or NVIDIA to do something with the PhysX. Or, probably just that mine is not exactly a great card :))
