Well as most people are aware (I would at least hope anyway) there are new WHQL drivers out 270.61. I downloaded and installed on my gaming rig (supposed to be anyway) and checked performance while folding (yes folding didnt even open a game) I determined that these do not work for my set up for F@H, they actually slow the performance of the clients down in my machine thus increasing the TPF. 
GTX480s w/ GTX275 PhysX... YMMV with the 500 series.
Figured Id put this out there

    I really like the 266.58 driver.  Works the best IMO.

    Same here Z3ro, I rolled back to the 266s. I always try it on my gaming rig first, I sit here surfing the net and let it fold while keeping an eye on the TPF. I should also add I had a WU fail while on the 270s. (was kinda peeved at that)

    I'm on 270.61 and they work fine, I just ran a few benchmarks and tested a few games,
     
    folding performance on the GPU's is a bit worse though since the CPU usage is back up unfortunately I need them though for SLI in the later games.

    Appreciate the reports on how this latest driver is doing (especially with Folding).  Until I see a need to switch, I'm stayin' on the 266.58 release.

    They seem to be okay.  My GTS 250 (on 266.58) got 6.5k ppd, and on 270.61, it's getting 6.3k.  I suppose it's okay.
