Frank,
   On the NVidia site they show a new beta driver released today, July
1st, 2013. The version number is 325.08. I just did a sync and that
revision does not appear to be in portage yet, at least on the server
I'm syncing to.

   I suspect that's the driver you're looking for but that is just a guess.

HTH,
Mark
