On which card?

I've been getting random driver restarts lately, hopefully these might cure that.
Otherwise it might be time to take my ageing G80 out and shoot it in the head.

Really? I thought L4D + 2 was just another source game, and really didn't need much graphics horsepower. What settings were you using before, and what FPS were you getting?

@ 1920x1080 and 4xAA I get slowdowns when there's a tons of zombies around.

Usually from both camps we see that many of the performance gains come for SLI/CF systems but it is good to see Nvidia pushing out large performance gains for single GPU configurations often enough. If only they could make my monitor's native res work when connnected with DVI...

I test Crysis Warhead and L4D in my regular nVidia driver articles, so it'll be interesting to try these.
