I just got a GTX 680 about a week ago. Since I installed the new card (and nVidia's latest WHQL driver [301.42 IIRC]) I've been getting periodic display driver crashes where I lose video signal for a few seconds and the machine then recovers, but my framerates go down to 5-10 fps.
At first I thought I might have a DOA 680, but after hours playing other games (BF3, SC2, League of Legends, etc) and running FurMark burn-in tests I've been unable to replicate the problem. The crashes only seem to happen while running EVE. I've just installed the latest beta driver to see if that helps at all, but I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue.
Oh, I'm usually triple-boxing in fixed-window mode when it happens, fwiw. |

I don't use firefox.
Just played several hours worth of BF3 without any issues. I'm puzzled. I guess I'll play some eve tomorrow and see if I can make it happen again. |

I just downloaded what I assumed were the latest betas last night, and I did see something in the release notes about fixing a bug with hardware cursor rendering in some games FWIW. I just checked my download history and 304.79 is indeed what I installed last night. Seems to be working well so far (though I haven't put 3 clients on the same grid full of missles yet today) and I noticed last night that my BF3 framerate is much more consistent / smooth as well, so I guess they fixed their adaptive vsync stutter problem. |

Has it become better? I just tried this. Downloaded the beta driver. In fact it got worse. Freeze ups occurred more frequently. So the new beta driver did not fix things for me. These problems started with one of the follow up patches to Inferno. I wish I could remember which one. Something was done with one of them that started the cycle of freeze ups. Little did I know then that the very occasional freeze would become more and more frequent. My worry now is that whatever this problem is has embedded itself in places that are multiplying it's effects and will spillover to anything I do. Even non eve functions.
Odd. I haven't had a single instance since changing to the beta driver. I've been playing a fair amount of EVE as well, so you'd think it would have happened again by now if it was going to. |

FWIW I still haven't had a driver recovery incident since switching to 304.79. |
