    Works fine on my desktop but crysis2 is still a bad console port(have to disable sli for it to play) all my other games play good and 3d seems a little better.

    It doesnt work for me.. First try failed, second try made my screen black and just sat there for about 30 minutes lol, then restarted my pc, then tried again ran as administrator and failed. so i have to use 270. i downloaded it two times as well so the file isnt bad. I have the Geforce GTX 260m, says its supported.

    The driver install did a similar thing for me - it humg with black screen for about 40 minutes. I forced a shutdown, and when it rebooted, the driver was installed. It seems ok, but I haven't run any benchmarks or stressed it yet.

    When i turned my back on it didnt say i had a driver for my graphics card.. i just messed it up, i have the GTX 260m btw. I have to revert back to 270 (already had it dled). i tried alot of things and it just wont install. just fails everytime.

    Official WHQL NVIDIA 275.33 Display Driver Feedback Thread For NVIDIA Geforce Desktop/Notebook/ION GPUs - NVIDIA Forums skim across that. over 30 people are having the same issue, so its not my hardware.

    This is what the update did.. lol. I downgraded after this and it runs PERFECT. Great job Nvidia. they say this update is supposed to IMPROVE gameplay, didnt seem the case for me and 30+ other people. Usually its ATI who has had bad drivers but this has made me want to go back to them. also, Stealth mode was not on. Temps were perfect. No overclocking.

    I've played Crysis 2 with no problem at all.
    Did you do a CLEAN install?
