I don't know about anyone else but I am all the way back at 311.06 on my msi gtx 660 ti. I keep trying to upgrade but most of the time I find an issue with the drivers with some of my games. (I know how outdated I am :P )

 

For example most recently: 320.18: skipped due to a lot of people claiming it broke their cards.

320.49: skyrim graphics would freeze after about 5 minutes of gameplay >.<

 

 

So does anyone know any recent nvidia drivers that seem to be very stable and compatible with a lot of things? Basically I want to upgrade my drivers but due to slow internet it takes forever to download a new driver, and it seems that a decent amount of the time those drivers aren't working correctly, so it will take forever to keep testing, anyone have any drivers that are recent that seem to work for them?

Use the 314.XX driver they seem to be stable.

I have upgraded to 320.49 with the nvida experience and i don't optimize because i want to choose my settings and everything is running smooth. I also have a 660ti and the temperatures are not hot at all. I have not had any problems with any other program that i own. In gaming i have no problems but to be fair i only play COD games not all the skyrim and lochness what-you-muh-call-its.

Im surprised, I normally praise Nvidia for drivers, I might have to stop doing that. Well nothing is perfect.

With the recent spate of buggy nVidia drivers, I'd decided to leave mine at 320.00 which doesn't seem to have any issue with my 2x GTX670's. I've learned to leave well enough alone when a driver works and if there's no major reason to update.

+1 on that thinking but give Nvidia some time they will straighten out the driver issue seems like for the 600 series cards driver 314.XX seems to be working fine. The 700 series cards I'm not sure if they can go back to 314.XX I know the GTX 770 people are limited to the 320.XX drivers as well as the GTX 760 crowd. The GTX 780 and Titan I'm not sure about but if you need more information about the driver problems you can head over to nvidia.com there are pages of topics about the 320 drivers killing cards, performance drops, crashes the list goes on and on.
