So, I've followed the driver uninstall instructions stickied in the Driver forum (ran the uninstaller for the 3D driver and PhysX - also tried again using the uninstaller for the 3D driver AND 3D controller, as well as PhysX - uninstalled the display adapater driver via device manager, deleted the appropriate folders, ran driver sweeper in safe mode) but I can't seem to get rid of the 3D vision controller driver! According to the 290.53 installer, the 3D Vision Control Driver 280.19 is still installed.
In addition, the driver says it's going to install the 3D Vision Control Driver 290.36 (rather than 290.53).
I've been having TDR issues whenever I play games in 3D. Including games I *know* have worked in the past (IE. Civ 5, I never had a problem playing in 3D, but it will now TDR after 15 minutes or so). If I turn 3D off, I have no TDR issues.
What the heck do I do? I've already done this process, installing the 290.53 drivers even though the 3D controller driver was listed, and it didn't help. I clearly need to delete the 3D controller driver, but how!?
Just to emphasize, I already tried running the 3D controller driver uninstaller - I did at the initial step, when you also uninstall the 3D driver and PhysX, but I simply reverted to an earlier version of the driver!

All driver components should be 290.53 only so thats your problem. All pc's should have revo uninstaller, and ccleaner. download and install those, then run revo uninstaller use advanced option to completly delete all nvidia stuff, then run ccleaner/cleaner section and registry/Scan for Issues then fix selected issues. You should not need drive sweeper. then install 290.53

Pretty sure the 290.53 driver package still uses the 290.36 USB driver intentionally, Nvidia sometimes does this for incremental updates and Beta drivers.
OP you said you went in Device Manager and uninstalled the display adapter, but have you tried disabling and uninstalling only the USB 3D controller from within Device Manager? Also try unplugging the emitter otherwise Windows may try to re-detect and install it.
When you go through the driver installation, have you tried choosing custom installation and de-selecting the 3D Vision USB driver?
Personally I would want to figure out why the USB emitter is causing the TDRs on your end. Sounds like a system bus or dpc latency problem. Have you tried moving the USB emitter to a different output? Try connecting it directly to the back I/O panel without any hubs and use the shortest possible mini-USB cable you have.

Can't, my emitter is built into my monitor.

If by 3D USB driver, you mean the 3D controller driver, no, I have not tried not installing the controller.

Well, I've narrowed the problem down further. It seems not to be a 3D issue specifically, but rather a DX11 issue. If I run a game like DXHR or Civ 5 in DX11, regardless of whether 3D is on or not, it will eventually TDR. If run in DX9, I don't have problems (although some stuttering in DXHR, didn't play Civ 5 long enough to notice).
To the best of my ability, I don't recall having DX11 problems until I installed Batman Arkham City, but that was months ago so no hope of a system restore. I'm really hoping there's a possible solution that doesn't involve reinstalling the OS. It's not a huge deal, except I'll have to install Vista first. Or is it possible to use my Win 7 upgrade DVD over a copy of Win 7?

TDR's can be really weird.
I have a 260 (now sitting outside a computer) that will TDR only when playing WOW in DX9 mode. Worked fine on every other game I tried on it.
The only fix I could find for it before I replaced it was down clocking it using afterburner by about 10%

Did you have this problem when you bought it, or did it crop up later?
I wouldn't mind replacing it if I knew it was the problem since I have a lifetime warranty on it. I could probably get EVGA to upgrade me to a 580.
Welp, I tried reinstalling Windows 7 and I still have problems.
Did a fresh install of Win 7. Installed the latest beta drivers (290.53), installed all recommended Windows Updates (no drivers), configured my 3D settings (although the issue doesn't seem to be specific to 3D), and tried to play DXHR.
Played for multiple hours in DX11 with 3D on and then the same issue as before, game suddenly froze, reported a driver crash, and had to force close DXHR.
I'm now totally out of ideas. This problem seems to effect any game running DX11. I ran a DX11 benchmark and it completed fine, switching to DX9 totally eliminates the problem (although, for games like DXHR it also means no 3D at all).
Could it be faulty hardware? Should I consider RMAing my video card?
