I don't have any problems with my 670 fixed at 1280MHz. When will people learn that just because OC was stable in the past that doesn't have to be true forever? TR uses DirectCompute in conjunction with tesselation, that's heavy load. Not saying there might not be a driver problem though, I also didn't have any BF3 crashes but obviously there was a bug in the driver.
Excuse me? Im just stating the obvious, NV has some issues with Kepler and new tess approach, that dynamic clock is also questionable.

Hm, I don't like that driver because I do like BF3. The 314.21 is good for TR, but I get horrible texture flickering in BF3. Not always, but often; but if the game starts ok that does not mean that its ok all the time - flickering every now and then when using dirtbikes and such... I hope it's because of the game, not the driver. I'm so fed up with drivers hardwired to games...
Edit: Oh, despite the links says MOH, its all about BF3: http://battlelog.medalofhonor.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654490210255683/
Needless to say that disabling AA does NOT help...

I will see how they play with BF3 with 2x 680.

2720x1700 downsampled + in-game 4xSSAA. Looks amazing in screens, even better in motion. I don't notice this "softer" IQ you speak of, though I'm sure it's there. With that being said, here's a few screens which demonstrates that it still looks pretty sharp.
This game looks utterly amazing when played like this, I must say.
EDIT: I play with SweetFX and luma sharpening enabled. This is probably the reason why I don't notice the softer IQ.
That being said, I don't see a reason to use 2880x1800p downsampling with in-game 2xOGSSAA on your 1920x1200p monitor. Just use in-game 4xOGSSAA at 1920x1200p without downsampling. You actually get better image quality this way. Because 2880x1800p downsampling involves 1.5x1.5 driver OGSSAA and extra interpolation which results in "softer" (read blurred) image compared to straight up in-game 4xOGSSAA without extra interpolation. You're probably thinking this interpolation artifacts (softer image) being better. But it's not, IMO.

This game's visual quality is damn impressive.
Several more screenshots at 2560x1600p maxed. http://min.us/mlG5zKXFzgUZc
Although OGSSAA is nice, I really wish they opted for SGSSAA.
