    i liked the 177 series, so i think i'll DL this one, but if there is no CP.. then no SLI.

    Works fine here, though i did a full uninstall, driver sweeper in safe mode then reinstalled. Vista 32bit though.

    Well 3dmark score at 8127 which is the best yet, GPU topped out at 65c.

    Not sure about games yet though.

    Used the OEM inf, (nvco.inf for toshiba) control panel intact.

    Performance slightly better than 177.66, no heat issues at all.

    Still not as good as 175.19 in Conan.

    just tried them, performance seems to be about the same as 175.19, however I can't disable scaling for my tft monitor anymore, which is quite annoying because I don't want to run every game in the native 1680x1050...

    does anyone know a way around that?
