Only these few Issues left to fix now :D

http://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/97.94/97.94_ForceWare_Release_Notes.pdf

NVIDIA Issues—Single GPU

• DVI display is blurry with normal display timing settings.
The blurriness does not occur if “Treat as HDTV” is selected and then CVT
advanced timings are used.

• Memory clock changes cannot be performed in multi-monitor mode.
This issue does not apply to single-display mode.

• Splinter Cell:Double Agent–flickering occurs in the water.

• Battlefield 2: Corruption and flickering occur in the grass when video
settings are set to High.

• Star Wars: Republic Commando: Application crashes when starting a
new game.

• Tiger Woods 2006: Flickering shadows appear during gameplay.

• After switching from S-Video to Component format, the setting
reverts back to S-Video on some HDTVs.

• Call of Juarez: Corrupted vertical shadows appear during gameplay.

• Switching from Vertical Span mode to Horizontal Span mode causes
the NVIDIA Control Panel to crash.

• Running Direct3D applcations when in rotate mode results in
corrupted 3D images.

NVIDIA Issues—SLI Mode

• 3DMark 2005: Intermittent, horizontal, single-pixel width lines are
drawn on the screen during CPU Test 1
This issue does not occur with VSync enabled.

• With SLI mode enabled, playing a DVD from Windows Media Player
or PowerDVD on an HDTV at 480i or 480p causes the system to hang.

• The system boots with a blank display if the monitor is moved to the
second GPU.
To work around this issue, connect the monitor into the display connector
that is closest to the motherboard, on the first GPU (the one closest to the
CPU).

• Far Cry, SLI: Flickering and shifting sky occurs in the Research level
when SLI is enabled.
This issue does not occur with V-Sync enabled.

• Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter: The desktop becomes corrupted
after exiting the game when the SLI split line is enabled.
This issue does not occur when the SLI split line is disabled.

• Serious Sam 2, SLI: SLI split line does not show any scaling until a
resolution change is made.
Although the SLI split line is not moving, FRAPS still should show
performance scaling.

• Playback fails on Cyberlink Blu-ray player through component-out
HDTV at 720p and 1080i.
480p mode plays back with no issues.

• When setting HDTV mode at 1080p resolution, there is no TV display
output. When connecting Composite PAL mode, there is noise on the
display.

• Changes to the Flat Panel Scaling options are not saved when closing
and reopening the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Not NVIDIA Issues

• S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl: This application is not
compatible with the Override any application setting or Enhance the
application setting antialiasing modes from the NVIDIA Control Panel
Manage 3D Settings page.
Please use the in-game antialiasing options.

• Splinter Cell Double Agent crashes when loading a single player
game.
This is an application issue. You can work around this issue by creating a
shortcut to launch the game as follows:
1 Navigate to the game install directory, then change to the sub-folder
\SCDA-Offline\system.
2 Create a shortcut to splintercell4.exe.
3 Add "-ll" to the command line of the shortcut.
4 Use this shortcut to launch the single player version of the game.

• HQV DVD playback is bobbing when running in overlay mode.
This is not anNVIDIA bug, but rather an issue with the Intervideo decoder in
WinDVD 8.

• Age of Empires 3: Setting application to 1600x1200 with shader
quality set to ‘very high’ causes menus and game to become
corrupted.
This issue can be fixed by installing the v1.07 game patch.

• Company of Heroes: Dark transparent band appears when running
the in-game performance test.
This is an application issue and can be reproduced on NVIDIA GeForce
7900 and ATI Radeon X1950 GPUs.

• Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion: Running at 2560x1600 with NVIDIA
Enhanced Application mode 16xQ, extremely rare 1-2 second pauses
occur during some fighting.
This appears to be an application issue in how large textures are created
during the in-game fighting.

• Far Cry: Water reflection on Archive level is not correct.
This appears to be an application issue. NVIDIA is working with the
application developer to try to patch their application

• Half-Life 2 Lost Coast: GeForce 8800 GTX fog looks different than
GeForce 7900 GTX fog, and dynamic shadows look solid black.

If running non-sli over DVI then this might be of help:

• DVI display is blurry with normal display timing settings.
The blurriness does not occur if “Treat as HDTV” is selected and then CVT
advanced timings are used.
 
I'm using the new Vista 64 bit drivers and they seem nice so far - plus it seems as though the CS:S fog issue is no more...for me atleast.
