    I downloaded the 23.11's from Nvidia.com today and I can't see any real performance increases (only tried UT though), maybe 1 or 2 more fps in UT

    But as long as they are stable I'll keep them.

    These drivers seem to benefit the GF2 gang moreso than the GF3 gang

    Definetly. I lost 250 3dmarks going from 22.80's to 23.11 . Weird thing is though, if I overclock the GF3 to 220/465 I only lose 5 3dmarks, but I lose 250 3dmarks when I bench the test on 175/400 (default). Overall, I won't be using these drivers.

    Don't know if i gained or lost performance on the new GF3 but they seem to be running without a hitch.

    i got 3dmark 2001 score of 6114 with every thing running at default with no overclocking.. is that any good?

    MDK 2 :

    1024x768x32

    Det 22.80 : 70 FPS
    Det 23.11 : 75 FPS

    3D Mark 2000

    1024x768x16

    Det 22.80 : 5100
    Del 23.11 : 5231

    3D Mark 2001

    1024x768x32

    Det 22.80 : 2900
    Det 23.11 : 2800

    Don't know why the 3D Mark 2001 score is so low, chances are that the other drivers were more tweaked.
