The drivers to be released this month are supposedly promising to give a decent increase in performance for DX11 games.

"Remember the wonder driver from Nvidia that showed massive performance increases on the DX11 API? Well we have some more information on that front. Nvidia has revealed in its GTC conference that it will be releasing said driver sometime in April and its nomenclature will be "337.xx".

Good news. I want to get one of their new cards for my main machine once I survive the tax man.

The 337.50 beta driver will be released Monday and it appears there will also be a performance increase for DX9 games as Skyrim is a DX9 game.
I have a 660 Ti so I'm hoping for a increase.
