Upgraded to these yesterday. So far, it seems OK. Might go back to 258.96, as my left monitor suddenly seems reluctant to wake up properly, needs to be power cycled. :( Not found anywhere else listing that as an issue.

I was getting random black screens with the 266.58 drivers whilst playing bad company 2 in surround, even after finally upgrading from the 295s. I also got stuttering when using MPC Home Cinema to play *.MKV files.. So I ended up moving back to the 260.99 drivers. No black screens or stuttering while playing back MKV anymore.

I attempted to use the 266.58's and I couldn't even open the Nvidia Control Panel, it would just hang and say 'not responding'. This happened with both the 266.35's and 266.58's.

I've since gone back to the 260.99's and all is well again.

Strange. nVidia Control Panel is fine for me; or was when I tried it. Appears to have broken Fixed Aspect Ratio Scaling for me, though - everything gets stretched to fill the screen on my single screen system, regardless of the setting I choose.

Not tried playing MKVs yet. Will try to do so ASAP. I've had very few crashes in BC2 (on my non-Surround rig; PunkBuster doesn't seem to like my Surround rig) and none of them appear driver related, just BC2 crashes... two hard locked the whole system and one took me straight back to the desktop. While I'm not 100% sure of this, I think it's always happened on the same server.

266.58 hard locked my system when setting up the surround settings again.
I had to goto the beta 266.35 drivers. Though the setup for the betas always seems to suck as the bezel correction never seems to work in them.

Have not had any issues with these drivers. seams to be good.
