    They work fine, installed them a couple of days ago.

    I'm currently running the 326.01 drivers, located here, working fine for me also.

    I use them since their launch, no problem so far with them, but temp hasn't lowered much.

    Will these work with Windows7 or are they just for win 8.1 ? - any real benefit over 320.49 (do they contain the same actual driver in a different package?)

    They work fine with Windows 7, as for the actual differences, I'm not certain.

    I noticed your signature says you have a GTX 780M, do the 326.01 WHQL drivers support this card? Under supported devices it does not list the higher 700M series past the 740M. If so, I'm keen on downloading them and doing a test.

    Here's my most recent benchmarks using the 320.49 drivers:

    Stock Clocks: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Notebook P15SM -- P7800 -- GPU 8051

    Overclocked using MSI Afterburner +135 on core and +501 on Memory: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4700MQ,Notebook P15SM -- P8614 -- GPU 9034

    GPU temps never went above 67c on the overclocked benchmark.

    Yes, the 326.01 supports the 780m

    I'm getting crazy high temps with all drivers though. 92 degrees+

    Everytime I hit up the nVidia site, the 326.01 drivers don't say it supports GTX 780M. I downloaded it anyhow and it won't even let me install the 326.01 drivers. It says it cannot detect my 780M nor will it work on my copy of windows mehhh!? I'm running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.. :(


    **EDIT**

    Ohhh, herp derp... I downloaded the non 64 bit version, I'm getting the 64 bit version now to try..

    Just for clarity:

    326.01 Windows 8.1 32bit -> http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win8-preview-326.01-whql-driver.html
    326.01 Windows 8.1 64bit -> http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win8-preview-64bit-326.01-whql-driver.html
