    Has anyone had success updating their 260M SLI graphics drivers beyond NVidia 270.61? I get an error that says "this graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware" for anything 275.33 (also tried 295 and 296 level drivers).

    There are elaborate hacks online and on youtube on how to get around this, but I think my SLI configuration makes that difficult.

    I have a slight hitch when playing Mass Effect 2, and want to get my drivers straightened out before I go into Mass Effect 3.

    Help!
