sledgehammer70 Not sure if someone else noticed but you can also run multi core and multi GPU's and leave SLI enabled. 

Not sure what you mean by this?  With my SLI bridge on, I only have 2 options - enable quad-SLI or disable SLI.  I don't see any multi-GPU option like in the previous drivers.

^ That's right. If you put on the SLI bridge, you wouldn't see the "multi-GPU". That was the case with older drivers too...

Gotcha.  But it's perfect for me with the bridge on.  This way I can game or fold just by going into the NCP and setting the SLI option, and not even have to reboot.  But it's even better having the CUDA option to enable it on all GPUs and not have to worry about dummy plugs anymore.

^ I'm using the 257.15 BETA now works fine with the cards in my sig. It does get lower PPD though than 197 series for both generations. I really hope it's not a trend...

oh I wasn't saying it wasn't gonna work, I just prefer to use final release drivers, not beta, I'm still using 197.45 cause thats the latest WHQL
