    just installed them, stable so far in 3dmark, crysis 3, and metro last light. 3dmark went up about 150 points.

    I noticed I couldn't clock my memory as high with the 326.41 beta as I can in the 320.49 whql so I stuck with 320.49. I'll give this one a shot and see what happens.

    Not a lick of difference from 326.41 BETA so far. I was hoping it would give me back the 5% performance loss I experienced in BF3 after updating to 326.41 but no dice. Yeah I'm OCD. :p

    362.80 drivers seem to give a healthy boost to Final Fantasy XIV, based on the Character Creation Benchmark.
