    Yeah, I know, man. I meant to say BIOS, and I said it doesn't help at all because WestCoastGeek mentioned it helped him.

    I have an m17x and am running 8800GTX in Sli. At the moment i'm using the 177.73 drivers which although working fine, don't allow power DVD to run at all (it crashes) and my 3dMark score was lower than Alienwares.
    What is the best driver for Sli, or should i use the Alienware driver and wait for them to update it?

    I'm only asking because i want to watch Blu-Ray...

    OB

    the newest drivers are suppose to downclock the gpu when it is idle.
