It is one thing when display crash due to low performance resulting in low frames, but **** man, I have PERFECT 80-100 frames in Very High Settings with FXAA and AF set to 2X. I even upped voltage on the SLI cards and the damn thing still crashes randomly through out the campaign.

Cards are running 65°c average, CPU running 51°c average.

The nVidia 314.07 is pure ****. On the previous HQL nVidia drivers in 3DMARK11 I scored a X5134 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/5953909 . The current nVidia 314.07 drivers, I scored lower than a X4400, wtf ?

How in the hell does this new driver increase performance ? It doesnt. Its horrible in performance. I might as well export the Crysis 3 nVidia profile, intall the previous "BETTER" working nVdia drivers and import the new Crysis 3 profile to it.

This would explain why so many people are having issues with their 600 series GTX cars even in SLI

We cannot blame Crytek for this, its nVidia, so I am screaming with others hoping Crytek will reach out to nVidia about this issue

If your previous driver and settings gives you PERFECT framerates as you put it....then don't change your driver. Don't fix what ain't broke. Besides, don't tell me you don't know how erratic SLI setups are. The most stable is always single GPU. Double GPU and SLI tend to either get no support, delayed support or something in between.

I think you misunderstood the first paragraph of the OP. I said the current nVidia display driver 314.07 I express having no frames issue. My frames are 80-100 in Very High Settings but still get crashes even after increasing voltage

I never ran C3 on the previous HQL drivers that obviously performed better in 3DMARK11 Extreme Preset.

I updated to the new driver for the Crysis Profile. So it looks like what I am going to have to do is roll back to the previous HQL driver and export/import the Crysis 3 profile to it

Quick question - why, in a poll consisting of only two options, can we select "up to 2" answers?
