I installed the Quadro version though, maybe it's good for something. 266.44 didn't cut it for me somehow and I had more trouble with them than with any other set in the last year. Hopefully these are better. _________________ Intel i7 2600k | MSI Z77 GD55 | 8GB Corsair DDR3-1866 | Gigabyte GTX 670 | Creative X-Fi Titanium HD
good driver... gpu usage in black ops and bad company 2 is fixed... donīt have more bugs or freezes... but in performance i donīt noticed changes in comparison than 260.99 version xg... as xg version is tweaked its may better with tweaks too... _________________ ASUS P8P67

I really like these drivers. IQ in Wings of Prey was outstanding, performance seemed to be solid. I'll need some more time but the first impression is good. _________________ Intel i7 2600k | MSI Z77 GD55 | 8GB Corsair DDR3-1866 | Gigabyte GTX 670 | Creative X-Fi Titanium HD

These drivers are really good for me. I don't do benchmarks but the games I've played battlefield bad company 2, need for speed hot pursuit, and call of duty black ops all seem really smooth to me.
With this driver my framerates doubled in Battlefield Play4Free Beta with the same video settings !
With the 265.90 I had 35-45 fps (rarely above 50), and now with the 266.35 I'm getting over 60 fps 90% of the time !!! WhooHoo
Gfx memory usage remained the same (around 400MB) and GPU usage too (30-35%), CPU usage is around 75% on my ageing system.
Tested NFS:HP 2010, AA is working on the cars, but there's a severe performance hit when you crash and roll over... LOL

SLI performance seems to stutter much less with this set. Think I'm gonna hold on to this one for a while. _________________ CPU: Intel Core i5-3570k
