Curious if anyone has tried the new WHQL driver from Nvidia, 266.58? Any issues with Surround at all?

Thanks

Mark

For what it is worth, I installed theses drivers earlier tonight and so far they have been working great for me. No issues to report so far with surround or the games I have tested them out on.

Will possibly try them soon. Not heard the horror stories of them that I did about some of the other recent releases...

Well, I've been having a bit of an issue with these drivers (and the beta 266 beta drivers) where sometimes my computer will black screen mid-game and I will have to reboot, and upon booting up one of my 4 GPUs will be mysteriously missing. I have to do a system restore and boot up with one of the graphics cards pulled out of the system, then re-seat the graphics card to get back the 4th GPU. The fact that I started getting black screens alone was enough reason for me not to use these drivers however..

I reported it on their feedback forum for the beta drivers and it remains unfixed, and I can reproduce this issue readily with both versions, and It's never happened to me on any other driver. Granted, this is probably an issue fairly particular to my setup. I just hope NVIDIA can be assed to fix it.
