Shadowwind found these on Guru3d and I think it is worth it's own thread. 190.89 beta (http://downloads.guru3d.com/)
Not only have I been able to play LOTRO for 4 hours without issue on the cranky 192 core 260 many people in the Guru3d forums are saying the clock up/down cycling on the 200s is fixed. May be worth a try if you are having issues. Also mentioned were fan speed issues with 250s.:up:

Ok, joy was short lived. GPUGrid errors out with 30 minutes, F@H still won't do a 576x WU and second time starting game it crashed. Hope this driver helps with some of your problems. I have emailed EVGA. See what they have to say.

I tried that with no luck so far. It will work itself out sooner or later. I think new drivers are working so far. Been running since I last posted. Will monitor it. I know the first 190.xx seemed to work off and on. every once it a while it would stick 1 card on 2d clocks untill I rebooted, or sometimes restarted boinc. Will see, at least I am still making decent production this time

I am currently on 191.00. I will have to try the newer version. So far for the most part things seem to going well. Yesterday for some reason it put both cards in 2d downclock. rebooted and seems to be ok now. will have to monitor though to see if it hold up. I also need to install boinc 6.10.7 unless they released .8:shrug:

im not sure what nvidia is trying to do with all these beta releases they been putting out. but to me they seem to be getting worse with every release fix one thing break some thing else. i wish they would take time to get it right like with the 182.50 drivers they worked well maybe they should go back to those for a reference to help out with the 2.3 cuda or hell just throw 2.3 out the window and start on 2.4 :yepp:

190.89 (XP64) seem to work OK for GPUGRID but crash on me soon after starting any Source engine game. I'll try the 190.03s next.

Does anyone know what the latest beta driver is now?

I just switched 1 rig to boinc 6.10.11 and 191.03 drivers; need to switch the rest now. Bad thing is you still have to run SLI on multi-gpu rigs above 186.xx drivers or is that boinc related:shrug:

:ROTF:can't recall now.

Anyway I am now running a dual gpu rig with 190.3/sli and 190.3/tri sli on anaother rig. So far so good except their are weird issues that shadow mentioned.

Screen flickers sometimes, has some weird fade affect or whatever its called:shrug:. other than this it seems to be much better now, must be because they quit using cuda 2.3

I ran 2 GTX 260s on a AMD MB, in other words without SLI and they did fine. 190.62 and 6.6.36. Or am not understanding the question.......

I think I figured it out: I think I need to run boinc 6.10.6 or older. Basically what I am trying to say is unless I was smoking crack; I installed boinc 6.10.11 and 191.03 drivers and it looked like I had to run SLI to get all cards to run. I may not have given it enough time to get caught up, not sure. Its alright SLI has been working fine lately I think, and its a lot nicer to only need 1 cable per rig. I cannot run 9 cables to 5 montiors; I can but would rather not.

Anyway, main question was which is the latest beta driver? I thought I saw somewhere they were past 191.03, but cannot recall. 191.03 is the newest on nvidia's site. I will have to do some research I guess

I think the only other driver you would find that was not listed on Nvidias site is a leaked driver and I have not seen anything about one.
