    It's a good driver, but not much different from 186.03. It's worth an install, of course. Crysis bench was slightly up from 186.03.

    i just installed the 186.81 today. it seems to disable all anti-aliasing for some reason, but it keeps my 8800gts under 75 degrees

    Im quite happy with these drivers, slight improvement in game performance from 186.03 as well as slight increase in benchmarks.

    I installed these drivers win7 64bit version, to try to solve a problem with my Full HD monitor Asus vw246H with HDMI connection. For some reason only the DVI interface is working. The hdmi connection is not working properly, and i've tried the monitor in the m590 with a 8800m Gtx vista 32bit and it worked. Any thoughts? Also my samsung full hd worked with the laptop. Dont know why this lcd isnt working too.
