Edit - Due to artifacts and crashing with the latest Nvidia drivers, I thought I'd mention that 347.25 works perfectly for me.

Same. New driver caused the same issue, rolling back fixed it.

May I ask where you got a 348.xx driver? As far as I know, Nvidia skipped from 347-350?

Ben posted a note about this yesterday. He has a beta update available that should address the issue with the new driver.

Actually my system upgraded to 354.** I believe, last night.

Also, I run Arch Linux, so I get uncompiled early releases that I then modify to be more efficient and recompile. Could be the primary difference... I'll confirm more when I get home. However, the driver numbers should match regardless of OS when comparing to most recent stable versions.

FYI, the update for x-plane is out so feel free to update your cards. Some people are reporting increased fps now with both updates working.

No such thing - only increased settings ;)

Nvidia driver just crashed at the end of the SFO-LAX flight..... No idea if its the driver or my XP, but I haven't had this problem before.

Sorry for the double screen, don't know how to capture just the one screen.

Update - Forgot to mention, the new driver actually destroyed my GPU - the time it took for my GPU to render a frame increased two-three fold. Rolling back th driver fixed the problem, as did the newest driver update.
