On XP running windows update and making sure you have latest version of SP2 (skip SP3) usually fixes this - not sure why...
 
These improve performance for me on my 295 @ 2560x1600. Fallout 3, Mass Effect, and Oblivion now all run great with 4xAA + 16xAF at that res. Used to run out of graphics memory before, but somehow that dont happen anymore with these drivers.

GTA4 will now play smoother but had a few graphical issues such as texture popping and the occasional missing texture. Fine with fallout3, Tf2, l4d and crysis though.

Interested to here what your screen fit issues are as i am having an issue aswell
 
Definitely smoother gameplay for me in GTA4, though perhaps a slight loss in IQ, it's hard to tell.

Seem perfectly stable so far.
