    I noticed today that Dell had released a new beta driver (257.38) on 8/5/10 for m17x R1's using nVidia GPU's. I didn't see another thread on this topic, so I apologize if there already is one.

    Anyway, I installed this driver and immediately began experiencing DPC latency when running a FurMark test in multi-GPU mode.

    I've downgraded back to 197.84 which is the only version I've seen, to date, that doesn't give me massive DPC latency and crashes.
