nVidia 185.85 GeForce Drivers Suck

They started out nice but since last night the 353 pointers which normally give me 5.7K PPD went down to 1.6K PPD and continued into today.
I subsequently reverted to the 181.20 CUDA drivers and all is well for now. (Crosses fingers) Oh, this is Vista BTW. Hopefully my PPD will pick up a bit today.

I went back to 181.72 myself, the newer driver kept crashing and recovering

Well, so far so good. I've got a pair of 353's blasting through right now for a total of 11.7K PPD! 
I've never seen that high of a production before though I'm sure it's happened before, especially the two 3K plus runs I had early this AM. 
Of course it won't last but it was nice to see. 
From now on, I'm sticking to CUDA drivers only.
