NVIDIA stressed in an interview last week that QUALITY would be the main
issue of the next driver release not performance. I am using MS Vista and I
did see a framerate increase in 3D Mark 2006 which is a static benchmark
test. However, I have seen some issues I had disappear with this release.

If you're only getting 20%, then you have other issues.

When you say NEW DRIVER, specify that they are BETA drivers, it make a big
difference whether it's a BETA or a non-BETA

Well, under XP SLI works although the performance increase is certainly
NOT worth the price of the second card, and it worked with 64 Bit Vista
and the previous Beta driver but with this new one theres no output from
either card at all in SLI mode. It works alright in non SLI and I think
I will just get another MB and CPU and build another machine with this
second waste of space

The 158.18s are New released drivers. Not betas

Martin,
The driver is indeed a beta driver and it is clearly labeled as such on the
Nvidia site, but as such, it remains a new driver. At this point in time I
would be less concerned about WHQL or beta designations than functionality.
