    Got this link to the BETA drivers for 64-bit vista/win7, from reborn2003:
    Any feedback?

    For me:
    . Installed it with integrated and hybrid graphics enabled
    . SLI doesn't seem to be working. Ran OCCT and only one of my cards heated up.
    . nv Control Panel doesn't show aspect ratio options. So any non-standard resolution will be stretched. (a big NO for me)
    . 'set sli and physx configuration' disappeared from the nv control panel left-side menu after i went from Boost Power mode -> Save -> Boost
    . show SLI and PhysX indicators also don't appear in top menu (since it only appears for the sli and physx settings context)
    . tried Fn + F7 (I/D GFX) but that didn't do anything

    Will try restarting.

    Update: Furmark is running both cards in SLI. OCCT is not. SLI & physx visual indicators on.
