Can anyone confirm? I just got my new GTX 260's in, and haven't been with Nvidia for 4 years. I'm in the process of reformatting right now.

I got to try the 191.07 and see how they run, the latest 197.13's seemed to crash for me in games with SLI.

Shouldn't the 197.13 beta be for SLI too? It has fixes and also supports SLi for GTA IV.

I'm also goimg to have to give the 197.13 a +1 for sli. They run very smooth and no crashing so far. Temps are also better than most of the latest drivers.

A few older games have issues with SLI setups starting with 195 drivers and up. (Crysis minimum FPS bug, performance far worse than 186.18/191.07, etc...). For this reason I don't recommend them as they are not best "overall", but feel free to experiment. Always good to hear more input.
