Yeah that, & only with firefox running, when I run 3 tasks at once. All fine so far with 2 tasks at once, but will periodically try to induce the behaviour.
I've just now upgraded to the newer Beta drivers (just to throw a confusing change into the mix). I will satisfy myself that all is operating normally with 2 tasks & heavy firefox usage, then try reproduce the behaviour with 3 tasks running. If it doesn't reoccur I'll pin it on something to do with 275.33 under heavy load, if it does then the increased load of updated firefox & newer apps.
[Update:] Back up to 3 tasks at once with the 275.50 beta drivers. No sign of weirdness yet, will thrash firefox tabs periodically & see what happens.
[Update2:] That didn't take long. Poking at firefox for 5 minutes switching between tabs repeatedly did induce the behaviour. Going back down to 2 to watch that setting again. It looks like we're creating a slightly heftier GPU load :D Oh well.

Running 39d on my 460, luckily it is not my main surfing computer and mostly just crunches.

I've noticed the same with Firefox, but only with either 4 or 5. The 3.6.x versions don't seem to have any effect on the builds.
If I try to open Firefox with the builds running (from around the mid x38 builds) Firefox will hang for around 10 seconds then open and the applications will slow for around 20 seconds and GPU utiliisation will dropm from 93%+ down to ~87\88% utilisation.
Then as soon as I close Firefox, all is good again. Haven't seen this behaviour with either IE9 or Chrome as yet
AS I've been testing Raistmer NV r521 build I thought it could be related to this so wasn't exactly sure what could have been causing this

I think we should petition MS & Mozilla to stop trying to use our precious GPU resources :P
