Thanks Hellshade.

As a reminder, the OFFset settings manager included with OFFbase can backup your CFS3Config settings and restore them after a graphics driver update, so you don't lose those tweaks you spent hours perfecting. Get the latest version at Combat Ace.

It also includes settings profiles for NVIDIA and ATI graphics cards based on the official tips on ODB's webpage. You can apply all these settings with a couple mouse clicks and easily try them yourself.

Drivers not installing properly and are no good for me which is unusual.

Proceed with caution!

Might want to do a complete uninstall of your old drivers and install the new ones fresh. I had to do that with the previous release and then suddenly everything worked great.

I've been running around in Skyrim most of last night with these drivers and a bunch of high resolution (4k) texture mods with no issues so far. Haven't tried any flight sims yet. Probably will tonight...if I can pull myself away from my Breton Assassin.

Have done all that.
Shambolic to be honest with you. Failed install messages, Physix thing wont load in either.
Have rolled back to 306.97s because of the new drivers not installing for me and the last ones having the security risk.

I have to say that its the first time I've had any bother with tNvidias drivers.
I think there will be some sort of fix soon because quite a few people are having problems according to the Nvidia forums.

Still, never mind, there are more important things to worry about!

Installed OK here, but TrackIR crashed in the background with an Nividia driver error - first time ever had a crash during installing NVidia drivers usually so slick. TrackIR restarted fine, but probably best to close all background apps and reboot after installing these.

I have not experienced any stability issues personally. Tried a couple of sims and did a bit more of Skyrim. Worst I noticed was a very rare FPS hiccup when loading into a new area where my FPS dropped from 60 to maybe 35 or 40 for about 2 seconds and then jumped right back up to 60. Mighta been the driver or it could have been some background task.

At any rate, it's a bit odd that they released two WHQL drivers, one right after the other, without any beta versions in between. Given the errors others are reporting and I myself see no advantage to these drivers, I'd suggest holding off until Nvidia gets it all sorted out with another set.
