Can't wait to try these out...84.20 were sensational.

So this is just an official driver?

File size is different from 84.20 so theres more stuff in there.

You can use WHQL 83.91 until nvidia makes something better: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1348

 

[Jasonx82]

no x64 yet

 

[Jason711]

they are really pissing some ppl off with no official x64 drivers..

 

[Ockie]

I'm suprised a card of this magnitude has drivers lagging behind such as the 64 drivers.

That's been there for a while.

So, how are these drivers compared to the 84.20 ?

[AznAnarchy99]

[Justin_Diduch]

[Asian Dub Foundation]

kick-ass!

I'm getting identical performance with these, running a variety of games 1440x900, 1680x1050 and 1920x1200, zero issues.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

havent crashed yet and bf2 feels 100x smoother. A+ for these drivers so far.

 

[Ockie]

Feels smoother and I also gained approx 250 3dmark points in 06.

 

[anthrex]

[KompressorV12]

That section of the release notes only lists bug fixes. I've already checked it and most of the binaries are different, as expected from a different versions.

How to compare 2 files:
fc /b file1 file2

I've already said it a couple of times above: there doesn't seem to be any performance differences vs 84.20 and the 2 builds were made 30 hours apart.
