I've been using it for weeks on my 680 and haven't had any issues. How do you know it was the drivers?

It's hit and miss.

 

There are cases but it's mostly related to older gen cards (400 and 500 series notably). I have heard no issues of the 600 series dying to this new driver.

 

I still think it's disgraceful that nvidia would release an unfinished driver though.

Yeah it didn't "destroyed" my card (550ti), but since 320.18 I can't play BF3 anymore

I also tried going back to the one before, but it didn't worked anymore, so I'm going to reset my PC and probably go with an old driver.

There have been cases in the past where drivers have had bugs related to fan control - i.e. I've seen drivers that made the fan sticks at 100%, or some which capped it to 35% or something. In the latter case, people can unwittingly destroy their GPUs with heat because the driver fails to manage fan speeds properly. I'm assuming this is what is happening with the current driver (luckily I have my 680 watercooled :P)

Try removing the whole driver and reinstall it then, it worked for me a while ago.

Does it auto update by default? I had some problems with The Witcher yesterday, Saints Row and ARMA worked fine though. ???

I've had some issues with BF3's ground textures flickering, but I'm fairly certain that has been happening since before the 320.18 drivers. It doesn't happen often, but it's quite annoying when it does. I've been running 320.18 with my setup since it was released and my cards are definitely still fine. My only real complaint is that sometimes my cards will drop to about an 80% load in BF3 which drops my fps from like 135 to 80. I'd really like more consistency :/

I have no issues with 320.18, and even if it broke my card I would just send it to warranty

My GTX 560Ti handled the driver well but I'm not taking any chances I reverted back to my old old old drivers. I can run BF3 on High settings with my old driver couldn't do it with the 320.XX driver I had before
