Over the weekend some news broke that Nvidia has added telemetry logging into it's driver. We know that GeForce Experience already is collecting users, hardware and game data, but new to us is that they enabled it directly into their drivers now as well. 

NVIDIA just released  GeForce 306.97 WHQL 32/64-bit drivers which you can grab here at Guru3D.com This file has just been released and as such release information as such is still missing. The WHQL driver is intended for all known GeForce graphics cards though.

You can now Download nVIDIA PhysX System Software 9.12.0807. This new update Supports NVIDIA PhysX acceleration on all GeForce 8-series, 9-series, 100-series, 200-series, 300-series, 400-series, 500-series, and 600-series GPUs with a minimum of 256MB dedicated graphics memory

This is the second beta driver from the R304 family of drivers.

New in 304.79 Drivers:

Adds support for NVIDIA TXAA

NVIDIA TXAA is new film-style anti-aliasing technique designed specifically to reduce temporal aliasing (crawling and flickering in motion) through a combination of hardware AA, custom CG film style AA resolve, and a temporal filter. The Secret World is the first game to support TXAA (support will be enabled in an upcoming patch). TXAA is supported on GeForce GTX 600-series Kepler-based GPUs.

New SLI Support - Adds or updates the following SLI profiles:

• The Secret World - added
• End of Nations - added
• Nexuiz (also provided earlier via NVIDIA Update)
• Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier (also provided earlier via NVIDIA Update)
• Tornado Force - added
• Tribes: Ascend - updated

Key Fixes

• Fixed a compatibility issue with Civilization V and GeForce 400/500 series GPUs
• Fixed instances of flickering or missing mouse cursor when hardware cursor is enabled (reported with Aion, World of Warcraft, Eve Online and
• others).
• Fixed instances of very low frame rates in Deus Ex: Human Revolution (DX11).
• Fixed an issue that caused a PC reboot instead of a PC shut down.
• Fixed an issue that led to a black screen after driver installation.
• Power management mode settings now persist across driver over installs.
