    For GTX460 users, they pretty much fixed it all up for us. The game runs silk on 1920x1080 full screen 4xaa for me and everything else on high. At camps with 30+ people I've had a solid 35 fps. 60 everywhere else.

    Didn't get any significant FPS change after installing these drivers. Had a solid 24 fps in the spot I left my character with my old drivers and it had risen to 26 when I logged back to the game with the 260.99's installed. This being in LL Armorer's guild. My GTX460 1gb is only @760MHz though.. 850 seems high as hell.

    I have 2 470s I think I notice a big improvement. Downtown Ul'Dah 30 FPS consistently.

    Still wish there was a TRUE full screen that we could ALT TAB on....

    I've been noticing that whenever I turn on AA some leaves and certain textures on the ferry don't load. Just a bunch of dots. Don't have this problem with AA is off or I turn on double buffer.

    Not bad, got SLI working on windowed mode, still the exact same results as 1 GTX470 but now the load is split amongst both cards and it lowered the load/temps.

    I'm somewhat satisfied.
