So, anybody tried this one for L4D? Did it fix the multicore bug?

Is this better than the 181.20?

this is a whql release (tested and approved by microsoft quality testing and put on nvidia's website for standard use), aka not a beta.

haven't got to test it yet though, but i'll be switching over soon.

running em now. too lazy to do benchmarks, but everything seems peachy. left 4 dead is still capping out and the multicore issue that was fixed in 181.20 is still fixed (for me at least). the whql label is comforting, too.

181.20
I was runnng this before and in the middle of the game I'd get random lags and a pop up on my desktop saying:
The (DisplayDriverName) display driver has stopped working normally. Save your work and reboot the system to restore full display functionality. The next time you reboot the machine a dialog will be displayed giving you a chance to report this failure to Microsoft.

I changed back to the 178.24 and it hasn't popped up yet, so I hope that the 182.06 will be better luck for me.
