As title,
with the system in signature and 313.96 I can play Far Cry 3 maxed out with 2xAA at 1920x1200 with an average framerate of 75FPS.
Sometimes I see 60FPS.

With the 314.07 drivers Far Cry 3 has a similar average framerate but I have some frame drops that ruins every playability, for some seconds the framerate drops to 20 to 30FPS and than returns to 70-80FPS.
I have done the test using the same savegame with the same game settings and I get framedrops only with 314.07 drivers.

What newer driver broken?
Do you think that nvidia knows that it broke something?
 
that happens to me early not by the drivers but for the game.. sometimes i have just to restart my pc and the game runs fine again I gain good performance with the new drivers not only game also in 3dmark11 graphic score past from 9133 to 9695... btw.. you installed the 314.07 in a correct installation? (let in the installer restore all the profiles and Nvidia Control Panel options to default?). and.. you restarted your pc after install new driver? in the past that happens with my old 560ti after a driver install become bit unstable until restart the machine..

I know how to correctly install a driver and as I wrote the problem is repeatable by loading the same savegame where I see the framedrop.
With 314.07 I have framedrop, with other drivers I never see any framedrop.
 
Aren't the 314.07 drivers meant just for the GTX Titan launch?

I'm waiting for the next iteration beyond 314.07 before jumping from 313.96.
 
I'm running 314.09 with modded INF on my GTX 690 and I'm seeing a noticeable improvement in smoothness in nearly all of my games compared to 314.07. Crysis 3 went from a stuttery mess to actually playable.

Noce torneo know that only 314.07 has Theodor frame drop problems.
I stay situ 313 until next drivers.

Same here in regards to Crysis 3 on my 3-way 680s. On 314.07 averaged 27 frames and with 314.09 it's now 49.

Every once and awhile I'll start the game and the screen will be off center to the right though and FPS will be back in the toilet but restarting the game fixes it.

50fps with a three way sli seems incredible.
What is the resolution? What the AA?
 
I moved to the latest for my 680 SLI setup. Not sure if performance changed any but there were huge problems in BF:BC2. The sky was completely fucked up (grey and shadows everywhere) very unplayable. I had to force dx9 in an ini file to get it working again. BF3 is fine.

Anyone else run into issues like this?
