Not sure I am going to try these until I hear feedback from others (as I have bad bad experience with all drivers except 258.69), but among the new/improved features I did notice this:

Allows for portrait or landscape setup directly from the setup wizard.

And tons more fixes/improvements...

All I get is "File not found" when trying to read the release notes. The improved support for older games (I-War 2! :mrgreen:) sounds good, but I want a bezel management fix for GRID...

This fixed a few of my issues, stuttering in DX10 is gone, randomly blinking monitor (whichever is on my 2nd 295). Significant improvement from the last drivers. Just in time, my matrox box started giving me trouble lately..

Ran into an interesting bug when hooking up my monitors with surround off... I accidentally selected 1920x1080 as my screen resolution for one of my screens (max res of 1680x1050) which usually makes them go "Out of Range". This time.. it forced my display into some sort of pseudo-1080p. Never did this before, on any drivers. Sort of fuzzy, still very readable - but all the screen elements scaled down in size like they would when increasing my resolution, and distorted my aspect ratio a bit. Printscreening my desktop creates a 1920x1080p image in my clipboard. Anyone else able to do this? Sort of amusing.

Fascinating. Not sure if it's a bug or whether it's a 'feature'. ;)

Sounds like these drivers might be worth a shot. But I'll wait until WHQL ones are available I guess.

Hmm... seems like it's just scaling, but that's kinda cool. In a way, that could act like anti-aliasing.

Hi there, did anyone try Portrait mode yet? Thanks for pointing this out as this by the way. I am very weary of updating my current driver as I do not wan't any more issues with set-up etc.

You can run 3D Vision Surround in portrait mode only with projectors, not LCDs.

Ah Gutted. It didn't state that in the driver release notes. I wonder if there's a workaround or hack?

But, wait,

Portrait mode does not work for LCD monitors due to the polarisation filters inside the LCD shutter glasses not matching the natural polarisation of the LCD display :doh
