Anyone with a 600 series Nvidia card been able to play Tomb Raider without it crashing? That update they dropped was supposed to fix the issue, but I still get dumped back to the desktop after 2-3 minutes of playing.

I have a gtx 680 and have had no problems thus far.
For tomb raider there was a patch that fixed the crashes. if it doesn't work turn tesselation off.
question what made you buy a 680? a 670 can be had for $80 cheaper and overclocked can match a 680's performance. a 670 FTW pretty much matches a 680's performance and cost $50 less.
you can overclock the 680 too though, and then it'll leave the 670 behind again. the 680 is superior, period
a 690 is superior, a Titan is superior a 680 is like 5% or less faster than a 670 and you pay almost $100 for that 5%.
50.7 vs 54 FPS is the 4 extra frames worth almost that $100?

you can pretty much go down the list and if you were playing the games both cards are so close in performance that you wouldn't be able to notice the extra frames a 680 gives.

it's the same thing all the way up the line. look at the 660ti and the 670
you pay $80 more to pick up 3 fps

Far Cry 3 maxed out 31 fps on a 680 and 30 on a 670. its pretty much a wash. 660ti is like 23 fps.

yeah, it's different for different games. the 680 wins every time though. not to mention the fact that those settings push both cards to around 30fps shows there might be other inherent bottlenecks that limits both cards. in other words if you want to compare the cards, you should find an example where they both have a little more 'breathing room'. cause apparently neither card is really up to the task of running the game at those settings
there's also another factor that might be relevant, and that's the fact that the 680 was the first card to drop from the 600 series
