    The new drivers also allow for folding while SLi is enabled. Before while SLi was enabled only one card could fold. http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=100786741

    Wasn't in the release notes; good to know.

    It is actually part of the release notes for CUDA 2.3.

    CUDA Updates
    • Added support for 64‐bit video encoding.
    • Added support to make all GPUs within an SLI group available for CUDA

    I can't get this to install properly. I get a black screen with a blinking cursor. (Beta drivers turned off the monitor and didn't turn it back on).

    Try to restart windows 7, and it freezes while loading after installing these, which then requires a another restart to restore to previous good config.

    Should mention I have a 9600GT on a Gigabyte AM3 board

    I got this installed in Vista x64 with a GTX 260-216 @725/1450/1200. A couple of observations
    - Fallout 3 started stuttering for a couple of split seconds, no crashes but annoying
    - Rivatuner 2.24 works normally regarding overclocking and fan settings, just used ForceDriverVersion setting
    - Crysis performance dropped 1-2fps from ~47 at 1680x1050, all-high, noAA
    - Physx was disabled by default in the NVIDIA Control Panel after installation, enabled it.
    - Nothing else different
    Recommendation: I wish I had waited for the next 19x driver since Fallout 3 is the only game I play.

    I had some FPS issues on a few games, so I went back to the 186.18 drivers. I'm going to install the Windows 7 RTM this weekend, and give the 190s another go.

    I have crossed my fingers for the next 19x driver before Mothership Zeta arrives. Otherwise, I will be going back to previous driver too. Hear me Nvidia? And, I will be banging my head if you say there are no problems in Windows 7 :)
