This release adds compatibility fixes for the StarCraft II beta and for some DirectX 8 applications but is otherwise identical to version 197.13

GeForce 200 Series: Starcraft 2 Beta–the game crashes or flickers. [655988]
Several DirectX 8 applications do not launch correctly. [664818]

Oh wow these actually seem like good drivers - slight pause on scene change in heaven but none of the stall on a black screen for 10-20 seconds as the bugged 195/196 were getting, several games run noticeably smoother as well.

EDIT: The benchmark text in FC2 is flickering (prolly SLI bug)
EDIT2: Some trees in crysis are flickering with AA as well doh so still a few issues (this goes away after 30 seconds), but seems a lot of old bugs are fixed.
