    Once I installed the newest nVidia drivers on my 280m SLI, the system crashed like 5 times. And I never managed to open the 3D match mode in Fifa Manager 11. It like crashed and left the game before opening. Is there any GOOD drivers for my SLI's?
    Please help with both FM 11 and drivers.

    They don't actually suck,they just won't go along with the m17x.
    Install the ones from Dell 197.84 and you won't have any issue,they are the most stable ones ATM or you can try the modded ones by BatBoy,i haven't tested them myself.You can find them here
    Also just a fy:
    uninstall your previous drivers,run Driver sweeper to clean nVidia display drivers,reboot and run CCleaner for any remainings of nVidia drivers,now you can install the ones of your choice.
    If you have some time you can give the modded ones a go if not the Dell beta ones i can guaratee they will not create any issue.
    Let us know
