I try and avoid driver updates as much as possible, everytime I download one it runs my graphics into the ground. Hard. However if feedback is good enough, I'll download this one. My PC has taken enough hits to take just one more.

Added 3D support for Diablo III... That must mean it it close to coming out... They wouldn't release something like this if the code wasn't almost finished would they?

As far as the GTX 580 improvements go, they're mainly for SLI. Now, I don't know many people with a 580 sli setup. :P Even I wouldn't bother with it. One is enough, unless I plan to go with a bigger PC monitor (30-inch).

I download updates any time I find them. I just HAVE to be up to date. Ill get this as soon as its out of beta. I think the previous drivers caused issues with Dirt 3.
