    thanks for the heads-up dj :) lets see if those have the same downclocking issues like the 304.48 drivers...

    edit: so far so good :) gpu downclocks properly, fans stay dead silent. now lets check the performance...

    Still no support for GTX 680M, guess I'll have to use 302.71 when it arrives :D.

    This fixed the annoying and random black screen + shutdown.

    EDIT: Nevermind, it's still there but I think it's windows related.

    Installed it earlier... 3DMark11 score didn't change from the earlier Beta drivers, then again, nothing in the release log pointed to performance boost.
