    Just plopped a 680m into my 9170 and wanted to know what he best drivers out were right now? I downloaded the beta to test and make sure that it was stable, but I wanted to know if they are my best option.

    Sadly, the beta drivers have a major issue with Saints Row, though everything else runs great.

    306.02 are the ones I am using right now, anything better out there?

    I've been using those beta drivers with no issues, a lot of people here as well

    Slight performance increase in 3dmark11 and GW2.

    Some did report crashes in BF3.

    Is the 306 the most efficient in Gw2? That is my main game right now. I'm seeing the FPS dips in some of it, however with some changes in the control panel I see it get up to 60 FPS (Which is awesome).

    I played bf3 from start to finish, no crashes. I've only had two blue screens. One after I updated to 306 and one randomly when I was browsing the web while cod mw3 was in the background.

    Yeah, they fixed a lot for me as well. SR3 is running and I'm seeing better fluidity in Gw2 as well. Seems to be a solid driver for the most part.
