It seems that on 295.73 even clicking on the iconfied window doesn't help every time.
 
Damn I hate this glitch but I think it's more a DICE problem than NVIDIA's.

Running on Core i7 950 @ 4.2 ghz
2x EVGA GTX 580 in SLI @ 920 / 2250 / 1.150v 24/7 on 335.23 whql

little bit late to the party on these drivers, just installed them. About to load up some ME3 and BF3 and give 'em a go.Main reason I even checked was because I hadnt though about ME3 SLI profiles but it became apparent as my other 570 was sitting at 30 C

Just played some BF3 and Mass Effect 3 and I am very happy with how much better Mass Effect plays with these new drivers, it is night and day. Did not really play enough BF3 to get a good gauge of how big of a performance increase, however it did seem a bit smoother in certain areas. Will run FRAPS or something tomorrow.

I did some benching last weekend, still running my old 790 setup here and at some point decided to re-install (clean install) the former whql drivers.
 
gained worse 3dmark11 scores with older drivers, the again (clean) installed those latest ones and scores went a little back up. the difference is minimal but still, those drivers are very good, seem very solid to me (2x 570 in SLI).
 
they are now FutureMark approved too.

tested under identical conditions.

cool, thanks! I haven't even known there was a new driver released today, waiting for results of testing
