Just curious if anyone else has installed these yet. I "upgraded" yesterday but had to roll back my video drivers this morning to get my 570's recognized. Looks like there might be a few bugs to work out yet. Oops

Just installed the new 295.73 driver for my 560 and no problems, as of yet.  Been playing BF3 and Skyrim.
 
Fingers crossed.

I updated yesterday, it did the normal stuff like disabling SLI and resetting all the nvidia game profiles (I do the clean install), but so far I've had no issues. Running SLI 580s.

Updated the drivers yesterday morning and since I was on sick leave off work, I played BF3 all day. My 570 had no problems and everything seemed AOK.

No problems after the clean install of the new driver. Be sure to choose the custom installation after downloading the new driver and select "clean install".

I tried the "clean install" option and initially there were no problems and I thought I was golden, but now every time I boot I lose both cards and have to disable/enable both in device manager to have them recognized again.
 
PITA....

Just did a "clean install" of the 285.62 GeForce drivers and everything's back to normal. From now on if it ain't broke I'm not gonna try to fix it. Oops

Some systems just seem to have issues with newer drivers. I can't remember which driver series it was, because this was back in like 2004. But I had one set of GeForce drivers that just obliterated my system if I updated to them. It wasn't common online, and it never fixed itself or was fixed. They simply just didn't like something that was running on my rig. Once the next update was released I changed over without any problems. Despite what some may lead you to believe, updating GPU drivers isn't something that has to be done every single time. So, game on! Awesome
