    I have 8700M GT SLI.

    Nvidia's site recommends 260.99 but I just found a thread on their forums where a ton of 8700M GT owners are complaining of massive problems.

    I'm using 190.40 and I see slight artifacting only in StarCraft 2 (no problems in Quake Live or Red Alert 3). Temperatures are normal. I just put the card in today (after my 8800M failed).

    Has there been any stable release after 190.40 which improves performance in StarCraft 2?

    I also read elsewhere that SLI mode causes problems with SC2?

    I would go strait for 263.00 or 262.99. They have bug fixes, speed and what not. 190.40 is ooooold.

    The driver versions you listed aren`t available to download from Nvidias site, not even beta version so... Unless you could post a link where to find it?

    Cheers
