Level 7
Release Highlights
This is the first WHQL-certified driver from the R304 family of drivers (304.xx to 306.xx) and the first WHQL-certified GeForce driver to combine support for Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista into a single driver package.

This is the recommended driver for the upcoming blockbuster PC games Borderlands 2 with PhysX and 3D Vision technology and World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria with 3D Vision and DirectX 11 support.

New in R304 Drivers:

GPU Support
Adds support for GeForce GTX 660 Ti, GeForce GTX 660, and GeForce GTX 650.
Legacy Support Notification: GeForce 6-series and GeForce 7-series GPUs will be moved to legacy support after GeForce R304 drivers. GeForce R310 drivers (the next major family of drivers) will not support these products.
Adds support for NVIDIA TXAA
NVIDIA TXAA is new film-style anti-aliasing technique designed specifically to reduce temporal aliasing (crawling and flickering in motion) through a combination of hardware AA, custom CG film style AA resolve, and a temporal filter.
The Secret World is the first game to support TXAA. Read about it on GeForce.com.
TXAA is supported on GeForce GTX 600-series Kepler-based GPUs.
Learn more about TXAA on GeForce.com.

Actually downloading this right now, as this has a "FIX" Hopefully to my problem.
Fixes an issue where some manufacturer’s factory overclocked cards default to and run at lower clocks.

Maybe this will fix my 560ti downclocking and getting stuck.

Yes this update does work!. I have an GIGABYTE GTX 560ti and it fixed my problem, I now can overclock the GTX 560ti at 950mhz! without NVIDIA crashing and graphic card playing at lower clock. Well it depends what brand of GPU not all GTX 560ti can overclock high.
Case: Antec 300 Mini Tower Motherboard: GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 (rev1.3) CPU: i5 2500k @ 4.5ghz Cooler: Hyper 212 EVO GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 560ti (950mhz) RAM: G.Skill 8 GB DDR3 @ 1600mhz PSU: Corsair CX 750 Driver: 320.00
Been building PC's for 8 Years! 😉

Im not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

Its pretty queer, im running 3x ASUS VE248H monitors (24 inchers) with nvidia surround. Installed my GTX 690 to the latest 3.6.23 WHQL drivers. It works fine most of the time, however sometimes if i were to turn off my pc for a coupla hours and return to turn it back on it will not post at all. Just a black screen. however the debug code on my motherboard shows that system has successfully booted into windows. Im not sure why this problem is happening, if anyone else running 3x displays on surround with these drivers are experiencing a similar problem It would be great to know that im not alone and this is solely a software (graphical) related issue and not something with my system or OS.

Ive went through a whole lot of anguish for the past week trying to fix my com, thought it was a hardware issue, replaced mobo, graphics and in the end i found out that my graphics card would not post to my VE248 monitors, had to use my 32 inch tv to get it to work. Weird really.

THanks guys!
