You know for all the talk about Nvidia's drivers being so much better than AMDs, since I switched to Nvidia with a 560 Ti I have had nothing but fucking driver problems. I have literally never had so many graphics driver issues. There has been 4-5 driver releases that have constant TDRs when using a web browser or if the system is left idle for too long FFS. The current driver branch is a fucking train wreck.

If you switched recently, that is why. The 320xx series hasn't been the greatest for many people. Some just stuck with 314.22, as that was the last, 100%, stable driver. Only defense I can give them is they've been slacking due to the launch of the Shield, but things will be back to normal by the holidays, since their in a tech deal with Ubisoft on their upcoming titles.

I have had it for a couple years now, and in that time there have been several bad branches. Their profile support for new games is usually pretty good and the additions like CUDA and PhysX can be nice but their general driver stability is pretty terrible, and I don't think cramming to support all the big new releases is going to help with that.
