What about image quality? 175.19's image quality is pretty awesome.

looks fine for me, didnt notice any "cuts" or artifacts etc... Looks like some free juice

Did/could you try it in single gpu mode as well so see if the boost is limited to SLI performance or not?

Overall performance boost % is quite same on single/SLI Not only in games that support physx! Also in Call of Duty 4 few FPS more.

Interestingly nvidia's download page still points Geforce 8 on winxp to 175.19. Give the disaster that happened last time, I think I'll wait just a little longer.

Well nvidia's website is always giving problems... Do not worry I was using them whole day in different games, movies etc - not a single problem. Since they are not default for 8800GT on the website I also was alerted but after checking both cards clocks temps etc I can now asure You that drivers work well with 8*** series

Oh..."very nice", that you delete my Thread from yesterday with this information...LOL.

I think it's why I posted it with a Link to tweakforce...not my thing, if an other Site is faster with the Download and the Information.

Deleting my Tipp? Nahh, is not ok...sorry.

Bye.

Nvidia made a blunder with their driver search. If one selects Geforce 8 on winxp you get 175.19. If 9800GTX on xp is selected you get 177.79 but 8800GT is in the supported products tab.

This seems like a good set so i'm gonna stick with .83 for a while. I also tried .89 released today and performance was pretty much the same but a little bit lower on few games so I decided to revert back.
