NVIDIA's beta R313 driver with performance enhancements for Crysis 3 (among other titles) has now received WHQL certification. We wouldn't expect much of a difference in performance relative to the beta drivers, but NVIDIA states they provide up to a 5% performance improvement in Crysis 3 with GTX 680. As usual, you can grab the drivers for all current desktop and mobile NVIDIA GPUs:

Desktop 314.07 Windows Vista/7/8 64-bit
Desktop 314.07 Windows Vista/7/8 32-bit
Mobile 314.07 Windows Vista/7/8 64-bit
Mobile 314.07 Windows Vista/7/8 32-bit

Thanks go as usual to reader SH SOTN for the quick notification.

Love my job, since I've been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online.(Click Home information)

Nvidia Audio issues by JeffFlanagan on Monday, February 18, 2013
I'd just like to have reliable HDMI audio, without having to disable and re-enable hdmi audio in the Nvidia driver every single time I switch my receiver back to PC from another source. Let's get the basics right before tweaking performance.

Interesting, which card and OS are you using? I've never had this happen and all I use for audio is HDMI, PC HDMI -> TV -> Optical out to surround sound.

Yep I have the exact same issue. In addition, nvidia has never fixed the "silent stream bug". Hdmi audio is the one place amd definitely beats nvidia in (at least wrt drivers).

Any references to GK110? by Kevin G on Monday, February 18, 2013
Do these drivers have any references to GK110 based parts?

% by lmcd on Monday, February 18, 2013
Up to 5% or 105% performance?

I'd consider 5% a pretty huge regression.

Not interested in any version after 275.33 by andy5174 on Tuesday, February 19, 2013
These versions all require additional 12mV (default 1.0V) to OC gtx460 to 850-1700-4000 and hence lead to 3~5C increase in temperature.
