nVidia Drivers & Crysis

[Hungryjoey]

Well reading all these latest crysis threads I want to know simply what is the best nVidia driver I should use for crysis and my SLI setup. Like everybody else I'm disapointed with the performance off this system in Crysis especially with 2 x 8800's. Bearing in mind I only game at 1280x1024 (until I get my 22" samsung soon) what drivers should I use and also does Crysis support SLI ?

I just ran a few little benchmarks on Crysis using the 169.04' drivers/Vista 32 and ran it stock and then overclocked my card to 590/900Mhz.

Here are the 2 scores (top 2 runs are stock, bottom 2 are OC'd) I seemed to have gotten a fairly good boost in FPS when I overclocked. I didn't think it would impact performance much but when running, it visually ran a lot smoother.

Thats running @ 1280x1024 all high accept textures set to medium.
Do them scores seem normal??

Just ran it there again same settings and overclocked accept I turned post processing to medium and also noticed it ran a lot smoother no "lag" issues. Runns without any small stalls as they say.. Here's the score.

IT seems the 169.04s are the best I have tried yet by a long shot. I tried the .12's there and I'm not happy at all, Lost a good few FPS and visually looked very rough and slow.
