EDIT : And here is results with 2 x Sparkle 8800GT @685/960 (SLI) :

I did some SLI Crysis benchies (169.09 vs 16.17):

1440x900 high
40.51 => 44.87
+11%

1440x900 very high
24.20 => 33.30
+38%

1680x1050 high
36.79 => 42.16
+15%

1680x1050 very high
19.15 => 26.19
+37%

1920x1200 high
30.52 => 35.99
+18%

1920x1200 very high
13.38 => 17.43
+30%

Very good performance boost with Very High settings!

I did some tests under Vista x32:
- UT3 runs smoother, I can play with 32 bots and FSAA in the Deck map without any framerate drop now
- Bioshock still has crappy performances when V-Sync is enabled
- GoW still stuttering, but seems to appear less frequently
- CoD 4 runs very good, totally stable and smooth! (I used to get random crash with SLI enable)
- Hellgate London SLI issues are gone, and the game doesn't crash anymore randomly when you talk to a shop

Another Reports :

These drivers notably increased my performance along with the .13's in crysis. I can now run the game with the very high dx9 patch without AA (even though I run vista x64) pretty smoothly all the way through. The only level that gives me slight trouble still are the last and the pilot section level. Pretty pleased overall. All other games run smoothly anyway so cant really tell the diff. Nicely done NV :d

i got really nice fps boost in crysis

+ the alt+tab problem (i had to do alt+tab every half an hour to make the game run smooth) seems to be gone now, really really smooth
