    Skyrim works and they fixed the P0 state hanging from 295 beta. Seems like a good driver, maybe a few FPS faster than 290 beta.

    I am most excited about Ambient Occlusion in Diablo 3, I am a serious fan of Nvidia's forced AO.

    Why is it telling me it's not compatible with my hardware? MSI GT783 w/ a 580M?

    Did you make sure to get the 64bit? That's the only thing I can guess as the original link was for the 32bit.

    Well, from the begining of the verde drivers, it always needed modded inf to install in the R1 with 280M SLI.

    Is there a reason that when I run 3DMark vantage and 3DMark 06 it says that my driver is not supported and just says Generic VGA? I'm using these drivers fwiw.
