Download the NVIDIA GeForce 310.61 Beta 32/64-bit driver
The new GeForce 310.61 beta drivers are now available to download. Otherwise identical to last week's 310.54 beta driver, 310.61 beta improves compatibility in Hitman: Absolution and Planetside 2, and supports a new Black Ops II SLI profile that's available through NVIDIA update.
If you have any feedback please leave a comment at the bottom of the article, and if you have a technical issue please report the problem via the NVIDIA Display Driver Feedback Form.
Note: We're releasing the 310.61 beta drivers ahead of schedule so gamers can play Hitman: Absolution without delay.
In last month’s GeForce 310.33 beta driver we improved performance by up to 15% in nine games, and this month we’re improving performance by up to 26% in twenty games. Leading the charge in the 310.54 beta driver is a 26% boost for the upcoming and eagerly-anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops II, which hits stores tomorrow, followed by an 18% boost for The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, a 17.8% boost for Assassin’s Creed III, which arrives in stores November 20th, and a 12.9% boost for Battlefield 3.
Below, we detail the complete range of optimizations packed into the 310.54 beta drivers using the GeForce GTX 680 and GTX 660; at home you should expect to see performance improvements on any system utilizing a GeForce GTX 400, 500, or 600 series GPU, though obviously to varying degrees.

This is exactly my experience and actions, sans the fresh win7 reinstall which I've never had to do.
Having crashes with 310.61 in Battlefield 3. Sometimes i can make it a whole match but its rare. Seems to happen only when im on a good kill streak unfortunately so rolled back to 306.97 and its stable again. I just reinstalled windows 7 before installing 310.61

Yesterday when playing BF3 Metro 64 player Rush, there was massive slowdown at the last MCOM outside. I was getting like 30-40 FPS, lots of stuttering and low GPU usage.
Game runs off SSD, ample RAM and nothing that is processor intensive was running in the background. BF3 is the only game I play nowadays, I hope Nvi gets their act together and fix this once and for all.

In single player with msaa? That kinda like foggy yellowish light indoors?
I think that's a side bug started with AK DLC.. I hope they're gonna fix it with Aftermarth DLC.

Thx!

DCS World also freezes occassionally with the 310's.
No error, the game just freezes. In task manager it shows game not responding.

Driver performance should be identical to 310.54.

We just need to make sure we are seeing the same issue customers are seeing. It is always possible there is more than one bug causing this issue.

Release 310 drivers (310.33, 310.54, 310.61) introduced new power-optimizing enhancements. As a result of these enhancements, you may notice that GPU core clock speeds are different with this driver for desktop and notebook GPUs. For example, the GPU core clock might be faster when the GPU is in idle mode than in previous drivers. Or you may notice higher GPU core clock speeds after closing or opening certain games than in previous drivers.
This is because the reported GPU core clock frequency is no longer correlated to GPU power-saving states. Instead of lowering the GPU core clock frequency, the hardware and software use other methods to put the GPU into a low power state when the GPU is idle or in response to changing application requirements. This ensures optimum power while providing high graphics performance.
