    Why no gains for GTX470? Other than that, it looks nice.

    Why cant the 260.63 and 260.89 detect my hd tv? fail on that point but super duper for the lagg free bc2 experiance. although that was the 260.52 that cured that so i feel like its a stepdown for a gtx 470.

    Just in case anyone has this issue, or a similar one, these drivers fixed a problem I had with a Dell U2711 monitor connected via DisplayPort to my GTX 470.

    When I turned the monitor off then turned it back on it wouldnt pick up a signal until I disconnected and reconnected the DP cable from the card or rebooted.

    These drives have fixed this problem, although im not sure if its specifically these ones, however the latest stable drivers had the issue present and the latest betas (these when I last checked) didnt.
    Don't worry guys, i'm s**t at games but I have 500fps!

    The GTX470 is the same architecture as the gtx480 so anything that applies to that also applies to the 470(and 465).
