usually updates, even small updates, has fixes in them. though for a while now their fixes are concentrated on 3D stuffs...

When I play WoW and during heavy load times (pop hero, CDs, use raid-wide defensive CDs, etc) all around the same time I play fine. But with 275.xx I started to lag like hell. So either the install didn't go right, or there was some bugs/issues with 275.xx.

Did you try rolling back the driver, or system restoring to before you installed the driver? I would have done that. Updates don't always improve things.

One of their driver updates permanently damaged my old GTX 280 card. >_>... it eventually died on me.

Tatsujin:
I just noticed another thing and this is really great for my system. My GPU temperature meters were 54-58 Celsius (first card) and second one usually 57-65 Celsius - This is in patch 275.xx and when I'm basically not playing any games, videos, etc.

Now, with patch 280.26, my first card is around 44-47 Celsius and my second card is about 37 Celsius on average. Wow, I like this. Less heat inside the case!

I'm obsessive about software updates. Updated even though the older driver ran fine.
