At last a driver for all GeForce (6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500-series desktop GPUs) as well as ION desktop GPUs. R266.35 increases performances in several games as well as for 3-way and 4-way SLI, brings better support of 3D Vision, adds new SLI profiles (like for Alien vs Triangles or Endless City demos). This driver install PhysX System Software version 9.10.0514. More information on the download pages.
R266.35 Downloads
R266.35 is an OpenGL 4.1 driver and exposes 245 OpenGL extensions (GL=222 and WGL=23) and does not bring new ones. For the complete list, see this page: R265.90 OpenGL Extensions.
R266.35 supports OpenCL 1.0 via CUDA 3.2.1 and exposes 16 OpenCL extensions (see here for the list of extensions).
Great stuff!
Does it support 3dmark11 in SLI now?

@Psolord: I do the test asap, currently I have a S3 430 GT plugged on my testbed 😉
@Psolord: nothing to do, there is still no SLI support for 3DMark11, at least for my pair of GTX 460.
Same here, Jego. Came home early and checked on my 570s. Pity!
Oh well. It will become available at some point I guess.
Nvidia must have a serious grudge with Futuremark me thinks. I bet they are planning their revenge with Crysis 2, lol.
@Psolord:
What do you thing they are plannig with Crysis 2? 🙂

What’s your problem with 3DMark?
Just add this profile:

And it will use SLI smoothly 😀

I was referring to this mate! 🙂

Don’t get me wrong. I am not enjoying such moves from either side. PC can live without this kind of competition.
Somebody must do something and start porting PC games to consoles and not the other way around, but that’s another story altogether.
@zibri
Thanks. How do I do that? I am new to Nvidia. :S
/psolord starts googling on adding custom SLI profile
Ok, found this
http://www.trubritarforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6591-how-to-enable-sli-in-3dm11/
Did it, but I don’t see the
2
string in the user.cfg file
Still the benchmark run fine for the graphics tests, but runs like donkey for the combined tests.
Zibri, found your posts at overclockers. One more guy had the same problem, but I cannot seem to be able to download the predefined .cfg fine that was kindly uploaded there.
I’ve tried adding the string to various locations of the .cfg file, but 3dmark11 crashes on startup. Obviously I am adding to the wrong sections.
Does the addition of the string correct the screwed combined tests or not?
Ok last post, sorry for the spaming.
The solution was very simple really. I just had to manually select two gpus instead of automatic, in the advanced menu-> gpu count. Some times I feel so stupid when the solution stares at me in the eye, lol!
Here’s my result with everything at stock (i7 860+570 sli). I think it’s time to see how high my 570s go! xD
damn forgot the result

P5394 with two GTX 460 and latest drivers.
But to be honest, 3DMARK 11 is really BADLY CODED.
The best benchmark around with comparable results it’s the TROPICS demo (or any other Unigine benchmark)
I’ll ditch 3dmark. It’s too crappy this time.
Zibri, actually the first profile you posted worked for me. Thanks!
Aside from the previous results here’s the new one with the i7 860 @4Ghz and the 570s @900Mhz

Not bad I guess.
almost all of the opengl2 tests in gpu caps viewer crash.
opengl 3 and 1.x tests run fine.
also, running opengl extension viewers tests while caps viewer is running results in low gpu usage
psolord, can you contact me? zibree AT gmail DOT com
I can confirm the OpenGL2 issues with GPUCV 1.95
GPUCV 1.94 beta (NOV 3) and final (NOV 5) work fine with this driver.
