    Hi.

    Some hours ago, i install portal 2 on my R2. But when i run the game, the screen don't show anything (black screen). I can move trough the menu (cause i ear the sound when i navigate in them) but nothing more. I update to 266.33 driver and works fine for this game, but i cant play bioshock 2 or gears of war because a error appears and close the game. Returning to 260 driver fix the error for bioshock 2 and gears of war. Does any one know how can i fix this?

    Thanks.

    PD. I can play Portal 2 with integrated card (Intel) but the quality is really bad for me.

    The 270.61 fix the issues with Bioshock 2, Portal and gears of War. Thanks for the hint.

    No problem. I was on 260.99 but the new one is pretty good.
