Apparently the driver was intended for GTX 650 Ti only. I'm using GTX 680 but the latest driver (WHQL or beta) for my card was 306.23, dated September 13th. It's the same latest driver released for 500, 400, 300 (OEM?) and 200 series. Perhaps after Assassin's Creed III release we'll see a new driver for all supported series.

For some reason, it still doesn't include the latest PhysX driver from July.

This is really strange. GeForce site has 306.97 as the latest driver for my GTX 680, yet NVIDIA one shows 306.23 as the latest driver available for it. :confused:

I guess I'll give it a try then.

Yes, Wizz is right, nothing new except 650Ti support:
Performance Boost – Increases performance for GeForce 400/500/600 Series GPUs in several PC games vs. GeForce 301.42 WHQL-certified drivers. Results will vary depending on your GPU and system configuration: see, only an increase from 301.42....
