Interesting side effect with these drivers is when i use apple aerial screensaver with G-Sync enabled in fullscreen/windowed mode aerial runs smooth with previous drivers it stutters really badly and the minor flickering in world of tanks when going from garage to game seems reduced

That's on all drivers on GF cards. Hard to say if it's a driver or a game issue.
Don't force AF, let the game use it on it's own. TEW2 is built on id Tech 5 with its s/w implementation of PRTs and thus the rendering breaks if you force AF in this engine.
Actually, I wasn’t forcing anything originally (though I did try disabling MFAA in case it was that). Ironically, the issue is fixed if you DO force 16x AF in the game profile so clearly this *is* an engine bug, possibly one with this driver as well if it doesn’t happen on AMD graphics cards?

thanks for the respond. i did use ddu but nothing change. i will wait for the next release hope to fix the issue.
Unless you have issues with games you currently play, I'd stay with the older driver and try the next set when Nvidia releases them. But make sure, when you upgrade, that you run DDU in safe mode and clean the old ones up first. If you haven't done this, try it and see if that helps. I'm using this set and no issues with 3D Vision. Mind you, my hardware is newer and support might be a bit better with the new drivers.

: Also there is a utilisation issue, gpu doesnt go full 90-100%, usually 60-80%, with fps drops.. cpu usuage is waay bellow average, 20-30% max.

its happening to me as well. its game issue, highly the modified engine. besides, this game is awful i uninstalled it after a few hours.
Same issue with AMD cards so i am guessing a engine limitation, not optimised well.
