Just wanted to let everyone know that the latest drivers work fine in case you were concerned about upgrading. I also noticed some stability improvements, as my overclocked GT 430 showed up in as 749 MHz under the core clock and 752 for the memory clock when both were supposed to be 750, but now both are 750 in the eVGA Precision graphs like they should be. There might be some slight performance improvements as well, although I haven't benchmarked it.

Chiming in with a me too. I've experienced no problems at all using this driver with a GT550TI. Smooth installation and so far smooth sailing.

I just tried these on 2 systems- XP and W7 64. Neither one "took". I did multiple downloads, multiple installs, with multiple cleanings (Drive Sweeper), and multiple reboots.
These 2 systems contain 2x GTX460 and 4x GTS450. The new driver never showed up under Device Manager (MS default driver showed). I had to roll both of them back to 296.10 in order to fold.

Are you implying that these drivers fix the issue where the screen turning off to save power causes WUs to fail? Just wanted to know if that's what you meant.

The problem with the energy option "screen turning off" and WUs failing is gone with 301.42.
