New drivers are available for Nvidia graphics card owners, version 257.21. The latest release adds support for Blu-ray 3D with Nvidia 3D Vision technology and serves up a ton of performance improvements for GTX 400 series owners, some of which include:
- Up to 14 percent in Aliens vs Predator
- Up to 4 percent in Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Up to 5 percent in BattleForge
- Up to 24 percent in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
- Up to 40 percent in Metro 2033 with SLI
- Up to 9 percent in Unigine: Tropics
- Up to 5 percent in 3DMark Vantage
Nvidia also made upgrades to the PhysX System Software to version 9.10.0223, added support for OpenGL 4.0 for GTX 400 cards, added a new Control Panel feature for "ultimate control over CUDA GPUs," and a bunch of other changes, some of which are specific to version 257.21 and others that apply to the 256 (and above) family of drivers.

From reading the various threads at nvidia and the guru of 3d, this driver is causing all kinds of issues, so be warned.
