    Thanks for the information!

    I got a BSOD with 197.13 beta while playing BBC2, and I was unsure about these drivers regarding the same problem. Now, I'm sure that I'll get another BSOD with BBC2.

    Nvidia must fix this driver-related BSOD with BBC2!

    Awesome drivers at last! SC2 works, WoW at 60fps again, videos still screwed up though in EVR custom.

    been playing BFBC2 all day and not a single error with this. But it does run much more smoother than the previous driver.

    Runs smooth and no issues in BC2 which all that matters since I only play it for now. I've been playing for several hours today and some yesterday not a single graphics issue or crash.

    Congrats Veteran.
    You finally found replacement for 188.25. I tried it also last night and no. Again 188.25 is still the best for my system. I also always use FAR CRY 2 benchmarking tool.
    1920x1080
    Everything on max. with AA4x.

    197.25
    Min. 37 FPS
    Avg. 52 FPS
    Not smooth gameplay at all.

    188.25
    Min. 47 FPS
    Avg. 57 FPS
    Very smooth gameplay.

    I wander what is so special about 188.25 that makes it so good for my system. I tried every driver that gets released but nothing can beat old good 188.25.
