    The new driver seems stable for me on my r2 :)

    Also i pretty sure you can also grab the r3 nvidia drivers too, Just Because its a different gen card it doesn't mean the drivers will ony work for the r3.

    I actually updated to that 270.61 driver today. Running flawlessly so far and seems to have none of the hitches some other drivers do.

    Unless they are already beta testing something above those, those are the newest ones out there. (Though I see no noticeable difference between the 270.61 release and the 270.51 beta, don't expect drivers to make 4 FPS become 100 FPS.)

    When you updated to newer driver version, what did you choose? Fresh install or just update install. Because when I choose fresh, the install program stuck.

    Last time when i installed the 26x.xx version of driver, i always get one of the thing crashed but i forgot the name. Plus cannot play Just Cause 2.

    Now i wanna play Bad Company 2 and facing the punkbuster issue with 258.96 driver. So now wanna know that the 270.61 WHQL is stable or not with punkbuster.

    Yes it is stable. It was fixed months ago already in the 260~ drivers.

    Now i remembered the name of the exe that failed during 260.89 WHQL.

    It was nvxsdsync.exe which always crashed whenever i played a game. Till now i still can find that it's still a problem in nvidia forums.
    And new issues of Black screen of death with flash player 10.2 for 270.61 WHQL occurred ? From nvidia forums.
