New Nvidia drivers

[gabrielefx]

ya, Gabrielfx showed some renders in the Max plugin that showed the same results. Its not that big of a difference though. If you need the drivers for somethign else (maybe you play games), the slight loss in speed shouldn't bother you.

I'm scared,
the latest Nvidia Cuda Toolkit seems to slow down the Octane performances, this means that Nvidia has leveling the GTX680 performances with the 580.

we will never get the same performances from our old GTXs, Nvidia wants force us to buy new models.

Otoy programmers are forced to upgrade the cuda tools.

It's strange because one month ago the 680 was slower than the 580 and now the 580 is slower or almost equal to the 680...

I'm sad...

It's not that bad, is it?
