Nvidia has released a new driver today, 301.42 WHQL. Install at your own discretion. As many have said before, newer is not always better. Please take time to research the proper installation of this driver. Coogan  |

I'd recommend updating if you have a Nvidia 4xx series or greater.

If you have a 4 number series NVidia card (i.e. 6xxx, 7xxx, 9xxx,....) then you probably should avoid this driver.
I would take Ack-Ack's advice on this one folks.

Yep I ran the Beta drivers for a while with my GTX470 and they did more bad things than good so I rolled back to the earlier drivers and while they are OK I am considering dropping back even one more earlier than that one just to get back to what wasn't causing problems.

I have an overclocked 460 and I saw a dramatic improvement with the new drivers, I even turned on some additional shading and bump mapping.

I run 2x GTX 560's. I downloaded the update, and AH2 was more laggy then usual but I think it was something on their end, since everyone I asked at that time was reporting bad lag.

The "Adaptive Vertical Sync" feature is actually a pretty important new feature with these drivers that could improve a lot of people's experience. If you have one of the cards that can use that feature (i.e. GeForce 8-series and later), I'd recommend trying it out. Make sure Adaptive Vertical Sync is turned on, I'm not sure its on by default. Like was previously mentioned, its not hard to roll back if something goes wrong. Edit: More info on Adaptive Vertical Sync: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-301.42-whql-drivers-released/#nvidia-adaptive-vsynchttp://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/04/16/nvidia_adaptive_vsync_technology_review |

I'd be curious to hear what Skuzzy has to say about the rubber bullets that may occur when vsync is turned off by the new feature 'adaptive vsync'.
As I understand it, it is just a feature that turns off/on vsync depending on your frames. Can rubber bullets occur the FPS exceeds the monitor, or at all times if vsync is disabled, I do not know.
