I loaded them up and my GTX260 works just fine, switches to 3D low after gaming for about 1 minute like usual, then down to 2D...boots up into Vista @ 2D.
It does seem like my OC's are a little more unstable, but then I was pushing pretty far with this card...granted it seems some 280's are getting further.
Nkd what are you watching your clocks with? EVGA Precision 1.3.1 came out the other day, made by the same dude that created Rivatuner...so either works great, I've used 2.09 and EVGA...for this card I prefer the EVGA tuner since it has only what I need in the first place...I don't need much beyond clocks for GPU, Shaders, Mem and Fan speed and a few profiles so it fits perfectly.
I am considering going back to 177.70's, those seemed more stable while my card was OC'd. I did learn something funny though when I had my GPU OC too far beyond the Shader link, it'd kick down to 2D speeds...playing Comat Arms @ 1440x900, all settings maxed, 8X AA got me 22-35FPS...it was actually playable...it'd get a little hitchy here and there...but I was pretty amused by that! Thought I'd share!
