I want WHQL drivers that play them right!
Better dump those 7800s then because you won't get it on them either:
Issues Resolved in Version 81.87
GeForce 7800 GT/GTX: Reflections are corrupt when set to high in Serious Sam 2.
GeForce 7800 GT/GTX: Cyan-colored pixels appear randomly on the water tower in F.E.A.R.
Whoops, looks like your WHQL nVidia drivers have problems with Serious Sam 2 as well FEAR and require beta drivers to fix them. When can we expect your thread blasting nVidia for those issues?
As for your "trouble-free" nVidia drivers, including the SLI situation you claim is "problem free" and everyone else is spreading "FUD" because they don't own the cards:
