BioHazardSperm SLI on BFBC2 is about the same GPU load wise (40% in game , spikes to 55-62%max on win/lose screens only ),not impressed overall .Just another driver with a nicer wrapper IMO I run BC2 on VSync and during heavy fights near by and being zoomed in it would drop to 37-42 FPS. With this driver I am locked at 60FPS at all times. 480 in SLI here.

Anyone here getting issues with MSI afterburner and EVGA Precision with Fan Speed issues?
What happens for me is that when I open the application or when I set the fan speed or sometimes on startup of Windows.... the fan speeds drops to a different level. If I press the Auto Fan Button off and then back on a few times on both of these applications. I can usually get it to stay the speed I want. Sometimes not. I have tried all the Driver trouble shooting techniques on my side. But sill the problem still is there. Is anyone else having fan control issues with these drivers? Especailly on GTX 460's it seems.

skratch1 My Team Fortress 2 is crashing when i alt-tab out/in. Anybody else getting this with 260.63? Yes, just the game exe crashes and I can restart the game. I don't think it's vid drivers. It has been happening for me since we were on the 258 drivers or before, not sure. I don't use alt=tab often at all so, didn't really notice. I think it was a patch that caused it. Their useless but funny forums are no help. The standard recommendation is to either run in a window (no way) or don't alt-tab( I'll take this choice).

My 3dmark vantage score gained 100 with this driver. My movies play just fine and the driver installed fine which was an improvement over previous versions which required me to enter safe mode to install properly.

Well, they still suck for me. Only way they work is to disable SLI. Must be a tri-sli problem I guess.Plus the control panel on first install takes forever to activate 3 way sli. Game plays just fine with the older drivers, so I will stick with them.
