    Sounds like a driver bug. Others are having issues with the GTX 295 and the system information missing. Do you have the dual PCB card or the CO-OP?

    Yep AA is working for me too without nhancer. Only reason I had it installed was for ME2.

    Single GPU here (well unless you count my PhysX) and I'm stuck in 3D mode all the time with these drivers. I've tried rebooting multiple times and haven't even loaded any games just stuck in 3D mode from boot on.... I have never had this problem with any previous drivers while I know others have and find it odd it's doing it to me finally. Don't really care much to be honest at least I'm not stuck in 2D mode :)

    Edit: just loaded up GPU-Z 3.6 and it's reporting my speeds dropping to 2D mode properly. Funny I never thought any version of GPU-Z above 3.6 was measuring properly and this is proof. Perhaps others should try monitoring their card with this version instead of the latest or even whatever other application just to see if other apps are misreporting.

    Strange, anyone have that problem, it takes about 10secs to install, and doesn't ask for restart. And nothing is installed really. How do you fix this? I'm kind of confused, I used Driver sweeper etc...

    This is a very good driver imo. Just finished playing BC2 and it was noticeably smoother than the beta and first level with the previous drivers. My clocks are also correcting themselves on SLI when I switch from desktop to game, it used to stay clocked low.

    higher fps in left 4 dead 2 by 20. Lower minimum fps by 15. Not worth keeping

    This driver doesnt get along with MSI AB. My temps were going berserk at certain times. After watching a few music vids, my temps were 101c and the fan speed was 0. Everest reported the temp as 70c. Either way, not keeping this driver, uninstalled it and back to 196.34.

    I seem to be having a problem with two games I play, old games mind you, but didn't have the problems with 196.34.

    C&C: Yuri's Revenge - Some menu options aren't showing, i.e Campaign, Skirmish setup etc, but they are there if you click in the right place, just not visible. Also, the game sometime tends to minimize constantly, making it impossible to actually get on the game.

    CoD: United Offensive - Once I quit the game, the process still resides in Task Manager, the problem is intermittent.

    Win 7 x64.

    Zero issues with this driver. As usual. Eradicating remnants of old ones and keeping current has never been a problem for me. The claims of image quality improvements, as usual, are very suspect.

    Apart from clicking system information causing application error, everything seem to function as they should be.(overclock, scaling, 3dclock, dv setting etc) Performance seems on par with previous driver(196.34) I was using. I think I'll keep it.

    yes ok! But in my 191.07, its also at 50% by default!
    So is 50% in 191.xx driver equivalent to 52 or 53% in 196.x drivers?
    or how do you mean?

    Heh, unsurprising, since problems like that usually only seem to happen to me. But it's ok, I guess, it works again with nHancer installed and properly configured, I just wish I wouldn't have to install third party programs to make something work well when it isn't supposed to require such a program to work in the first place, so of course it has to be related to my hardware or software or whatever, I'm just unlucky, as usual.
