How many have installed these?  Any major problems so far?  My system came with 314.22 installed.  Everything is working fine, but I am interested if the newer drivers might give me a bit more out of my 2 x 670s.

I am running the 320.18 drivers. I tend to wait a few weeks before taking the plunge just in case issues crop up.

The drivers are finicky if you don't install them correctly.  I explained this in another thread but I had those drivers and they are fine for me.  You have to do a clean install (under advanced install) and make sure EVGA precision and/or afterburner are not on when you install.  You also only want to install the driver and physx driver w/ the audio only if you need it.  Their is a great guide on the EVGA forums explaining this.  Don't install Nvidia experience either as it could cause problems in some games when it alters the settings.

I am currently running the new driver ( 320.49 ) No problems at all. I let the update do its thing via Nvidia experience. All games run fine. In the past I would have never used the NVidia experience. I have to say though it does its job very well, they got it right. Also running Asus 580's SLI. rock solid. Your results may vary but I am running 3 boxes and 1 laptop with said drivers and Nvidia experience (kids) no problems thus far.

Thanks for the info Caymus. I was thinking about installing the new one via Nvidia Experience as well.

Hey guys, so I tried to update to 320.49 from 314.22 and whenever I opened something from the task bar Windows Explorer would crash. So I did some googling and used this program called shellexview to figure out what the problem was. Apparently, Nvidia CPL Context Menu Extension was causing it. However, even after I disabled the extension I still got some random explorer crashes, is this related to driver because I'm having this issue with all the 320.xx drivers.

I upgraded from 314.22 to 320.49 and everything runs great. No issues.  I guess I'm one of the lucky few. 

I have dual GTX 680's in SLI for anyone wondering.

I just installed these today.

When I first installed them (Clean Install + Picking just the GPU Driver & PhysX Drivers) the fans on my 580s maxed out and my 2nd GPU disappeared. I restarted my system to no avail. So I did a complete shutdown, and so far the fans have returned to normal and I have SLI again. We'll see where it goes from here.

I like the 326.01 drivers (link above). I may test the 326.41 beta soon. Though the WHQL should be out in about a week or so.
