    Any of you have problems with your drivers? I upgrade mine to 2 9800M GT's so I had to install the driver myself and nothing seems to work right. Which driver version are you guys using and how did you install it. Depending on which driver I use im seeing huge differances and a few of them made my computer shutoff when I started to run furmark v1.5. WOW wouldnt start except for with certain nvidia control panel settings. Aliensware driver wont install on my computer and even when I got it to back then it would only install it on 1 card. Right now im using the newest driver from the forum instructions on here. I followed them except for the modded inf file getting extracted somewhere. Says its only so u dont have problems installing and I didnt but my computer isnt performing right. Wow is running around 30-45 fps and has tearing. (my v-sync is on). When I try to install the nvidia drivers it says something like this driver is not compatable with ur current hardware setup. Thanks for the help guys!
