    Hello!
    I'm trying to get SLI to work in Modern Warfare 2 and I really do not want to update to NVIDIA's current driver, i like the one im using from Dell's site. I've never used nhancer before and I am trying to determine what *specific* settings i should use for my MW2 profile under all the categories. I really want to get this thing working and I appreciate any help!
    :)
    my rig is in my sig

    You really should get the latest nVidia driver. Dell's pre-packaged drivers are usually several months outdated.

    110% get the latest driver. The new nvidia drivers in most cases also uninstall the existing driver for you which is a very good thing. I had to update for Star Trek and have seen just constant awesome from mine.

    I've been using 186.64 without much issue (just no MW2 SLI), and I don't mind going to 195.62 off of NVIDIA's site, I just remembered some people on here saying the 190s were real buggy and it wasn't a good idea to update to it.
    thoughts?
    :)

    The latest one with my desktop (8800GT) has been working just fine. Granted, I don't use SLI, but I haven't noticed any bugs, driver crashes, etc. And this is with a slightl overclock as well.

    I would get the 186.81 drivers of NVDIA's website...just search in the beta and archived drivers... it has the best performance and are the coolest... least bugs too...

    Does 186.81 enable SLI in MW2? I think I might go for those drivers then.

    it should but 195.62 has full support for MW2.... u might want to try both and see which is better for u... monitor temps and all when u install drivers and see.. for some ppl 186.81 is better and for some 195.62 is better... anyways 195.81 beta is out.. try that instead of 195.62...

    Get the latest drivers. Buddy of mine had issues with MW2 crashing on his SLI 8800GT setup, but every other game worked fine. The latest drivers solved whatever the problem was.
