So, we all know and agree about nVidia's drivers and how they totally SUCK big time and if they give some improvement, a new problem arises elsewhere. However, this one's different.

The recently released 178.13 drivers are quite a nice addition considering my 6xxx card now performs better(honest:)).

But nVidia is going BIG BANG with this. Remember, playing on multiple monitors with Sli config , and as soon as a 3D game starts, the other monitor goes dark, that won't happen with the new drivers though.

So, R180, R190 is for now to improve performance and solve issues big time, so calling it BIG BANG-II, but they have plans for the future.

The R200 which shud enable DX11 support!!!

And midway, R195 is there to to play a small role I guess.......support cast....lolz.

And now u'll see a billion colours on your monitors with these new drivers too, as they mentioned.

Letz see what happens next....................................................................

Big bang is the name of the R200 and so drivers
