Dang it..rolled back to the 177.39s.

These were the best IQ, smoothest drivers yet for me, but after extended gameplay GoW would freeze on me, Crysis began to stutter horribly...no hardlocks on the computer, just the games. Would take 15 minutes or so every time.

Roll back solved problem. :(

These drivers are not good for Age of Conan, you're better off with 175.16 or 175.63. There's an issue with the latest client and certain Villa interiors in the Noble District. I noticed all outdoor areas are not as smooth with these either. Regardless, I quit Conan (let free month expire) and will wait until they iron out a bunch of stuff.

I'm running these for now, no issues.

They pulled from the XP side. All the problems seem XP related. They are still up on the Vista side. I have them and they are working great. No problems with them at all.

I had been using these with my GF 8800GT OC and found that even with an 80% fan profile in Riva Tuner, I was getting 3d temps of 90C. I switched to 175.16 and the temps are about 9C cooler. This is same game, same day, just an hour or so apart. Do drivers affect GPU temps this much?

These drivers caused a lot of hangs in games like Crysis, AC and texture tearing in Company of heroes. I thought it was hardware related so am changing my mb to XFX 790i. If that too wont work then i will just change the GPU to the 280 or something.
Do any other 9800gx2 owners have these problems with these drivers.
(Not to mention the ridiculous fps drop)
