The PC version of Fallout: New Vegas has already received two patches, however people are still experiencing performance issues, freezing and frequent crashes, recently Bethesda hinted that some of these issues could be driver related.

A recent blog post on BethSoft says that Bethesda are working directly with video card manufacturers to improve performance, which could perhaps mean that new drivers could fix all of the stability problems.
