I'm going to try these out and post back with my experiences in a few days. I'm using the 195.39s right now and so far they seem pretty good, so hopefully that means these are even better.

I like these 195 sets. I notice improvements in cp speed and win 7 aero smoothness. DAO sli stuttering is fixed but I have no idea what the hell is going on with Fallout 3. The 186 driver is the last set to run it like butter

Well so far I haven't had any problems. Still getting the terrible framerate in Dragon Age but still pretty sure the issue is not driver related.

Framerates seem a bit better than the previous betas, but I didn't test a large variety of games.
