I guess I will wait all my games run right now on the last whql drivers. Still no proper SLI support for The Old Republic....

I'm just hoping that this fixed the black screen bug with SLI and Shogun 2 on DX11. It only cropped up in the last few betas, and it's been kinda frustrating to know that my little computer with a single 580 GPU can handle the game just fine, but my big computer with 3 GPUs and a 980x crashes the second I set the game to ultra settings. Also, any word if this fixed the crash related to having a Surround monitor setup and getting reduced system performance overall? Or is that something caused by the CPU bottlenecking the GPUs? I've been holding off OCing my 980 since getting my computer up and running after my last mobo fried...that, and I went from the Classy to the Classy 3 and I'm nervous about what settings to plug in.

THX5334 I'm really disappointed there's still no proper SLI profile for SWTOR. And Nvidia and Bioware's refusal to acknowledge this problem, is really taking my patience and good will to its limit. The game ran fine in beta, but ever since launch it's the same issue. Which goes exactly as another Quad SLI 590 user said in a 590 owners/enthusiast forum: Shinobi Jedi, i'm getting crushes too. and right after crash only one of four GPUs continue to "work", other 3 sit at 0% load, 0.875v and nothing can make them work again except reboot. it happens roughly after 2-2.5 hours of playing and first symptoms are dissapearing textures This is exactly what has been happening to me since the launch of this game. And to be clear, this didn't happen at all during the beta when Hi-Res textures were enabled. This is the only game I have issues on. Everything else runs 120fps on full blast on every game, except the highest setting in Witcher 2 for AA. BF3, Skyrim, Batman - games with more complex graphics - all run better than SWTOR. I have never OC'd these cards, I don't mess with voltages, they have been a dream except for SWTOR.. I'm ready to walk away from this game, and I'm not an MMO guy, but got into it as a Star Wars geek. If BF3 wasn't running so rampant with cheaters, I would've already... So I guess what I'm getting at is - Jacob, can we get the EVGA SLI Enhancement Pimp-Jedi's to write us 590 owners, or any other SLI users experiencing this issue, a proper SLI profile for SWTOR? After all, you guys seem to be the only ones that get the job done... Thanks for your time and consideration, and anyone else reading, for allowing me to rant/vent on this issue. Cheers!

I just ran 3DMark test and scored a 10559 as opposed to a 10445 with the previous beta driver. For what that's worth. :) Is it just me or are these drivers running slightly warmer at idle temps?

Do these drivers support the GTX560 Ti 448 Core editions? The drivers are posted on Nvidias site, but not EVGA's, why? EDIT* I see that they are now posted on the EVGA site now, Great! Are the drivers from EVGA different than the ones Nvidia releases?
Same drivers!

The release notes do not include any mention of the x58 issue... or SLI with different videocard BIOS's There is a small note about "the fixes listed below are a small subset of the included driver changes" so some changes are not being publicly posted.... Have the driver downloaded and the new HAL based Afterburner Beta 14 New Afterburner http://downloads.guru3d.com/MSI-Afterburner-2.2.0-Beta-14-download-2859.html Time to test

I just installed the new drivers and ran the benchmark on Batman AC and the new drivers made no difference for Physx and DX11. The frame rate still blows. Minimum 28fps with Physx on normal, no DX11. Minimum 16fps with no Physx and DX11 on extreme and normal. I don't even want to know what it would be with both enabled. With everything set to extreme with no Physx or DX11, I get a minimum of 64fps.

OK, my quickie report Driver installed corrrectly, SLI option showing and enabled properly. (single) Cold boot test, sucessful Multiple restarts, sucessful Quick tests of browser flash and BF3, OK *very positive VRAM improvments seen in BF3 (more on that after testing) Off to run some benchies and install Afterburner... Will do a more detalied report sometime late tonight. So far, no reason not to try these, and no issues (so far) to report that are not netural or positive *EDIT, AB installed and first test pass in 11 *Edit, first pass Heaven

Probably the worst drivers ever. I have two new GTX 580 Classified Ultra cards. Every ten minutes or so I get this error message "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." Plus my monitor will randomly go black and say "no signal" and then turn back on. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? btw 290.53 or below are 100% stable.

Not many fixes published in release notes. I wonder if Nvidia is being hush hush and have made a lot of changes. Just not being published. They installed fine for me.

hehe after installing them I forgot to enable SLI ad was playing BF3 on Ultra and didn't notice a bit. :P
First time I played Skyrim I followed a rabbit into a woddy area on a snowy mountain and punched the poor thing to death and got lost.

Welcome to the EVGA forums Sorry your having issues. Please post your complete system config spec's for review, as doing so will help us determine your problems. Driver failure on the latest Nvidia drivers is most often caused by using Firefox and failing to update your Flash player. It can also occur from a few other issues, like overheating or PSU problems, Etc..

I did a clean install of this driver and loaded up BF3 and played for a little while and the trees, mountains and peoples camo kits no longer blink on me! This is a positive start...
