I installed the newest Nvidia driver (I was using a 295 driver) and so far so good. My triple screens are still working at 5760 X 1080. I did the upgrade install. Love the new position of the task bar, on the center display, rather than the prior set up which had the task bar spread across all three screens.

Hey guys, I did a "clean install" of the 301.42 Nvidia driver over the weekend, and so far, its performance is good. The one problem I am having is that my settings for triple screens do not save and when I boot up, I get only a single screen working, my Dell monitor, and I have to go into the Nvidia Control Panel to get my triple screen set up going again. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? I briefly checked the Nvidia forums, but nothing jumped out at me.

Over the weekend, I played several non-racing games for the first time since I upgraded to the 301.42 driver. Overall, I am getting noticeably better FPS, with top level eye candy, in both Skyrim and Battlefield 3. The driver must have something to do with that.

ya i noticed thing were prettier with latest firmware My guess is that they improved the SLI profiles for many games, including Skyrim and Battlefield 3. Like you, my rig runs SLI'd GPUs. |

I saw that. Performance increases mentioned... I'm interested. This is one of the advantages of having three identical displays. I can install Nvidia drivers without fear of screwing up a custom resolution and thus my ability to get 5760 X 1080 resolution. |

Downloading now. If you don't hear back, it went horribly wrong and I'm getting drunk.

Went smooth, no problems. It doesn't seem to have increased fps in rFactor, iRacing or pCARS.

I installed the beta driver last night and it is working fine. I have not noticed any performance improvements or problems.
