Ok I'm putting this in the gaming section cause I know alot of people have the Nvidia cards and are using them for BF2. BF2 demo came out with 77.30 which fixed a shade problem which if you noticed while you walked around it looked as it the Goodyear blimp was following you around over your head.
Well Nvidia came out with Version: 77.72
Release Date: June 22, 2005
WHQL Certified

This new version was mainly for the new 7800 cards but it helps drop temps of the GPU and increases stability for SLI.
I was really impressed with this driver in tests so far which on Aquamark it increased by about 1000 in test score. I've tested this driver on both a AGP BFG 6800 GT and two dual BFG 6800 GT's running in SLI mode.
I haven't seen no issues with it at all.

We need a site like anand or gamePC or firignsquad to put a temp sensor on the gpu and see if the temps really get lowered.

I noticed a 5degree drop under load "BF2" which is really helping it stable.. but yeah perhaps soon someone will test it.. its WHQL and this is directly off of nvidia's site.
If it takes care of my problem on my power issue with SLI which so far it has then its the best thing since Budlight!
