Try the new 304s. They work very well.

I have been running 301.42 for a few weeks now with no issues at all on my GTX 460.

I noticed recently my card seems stuck at the P8 power state (405 MHz, lowered voltage). It cycles up to P0 (full speed/voltage) just fine, but won't drop to P12 (idle, 51 MHz). Damned if I can figure out why, but I'm wondering if it's the drivers. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely certain when it started happening, I just noticed it yesterday.

I saw a boost in performance when I got the new one with my 560TI. it was minor, but there was a bit of a change.
