Yes, I have tried each and every update as they have come out, including 
285.03 beta. With the last I saw some indication of improvement, but not 
enough to stop using 260.19.44. I am also beginning to wonder that since 
this seems non-widespread it is some quirk peculiar to my machine and its 
Palit factory upclocked GTS-450 in particular. I will continue to tinker 
with it, on and off as time (playtime) permits.
