Re: Poor performance on certain games

Probably the latest drivers. If you're using the ones intended specifically for Far Cry 2, that'll do it.

I installed those, didn't get an appreciable boost in FPS, then tried playing TF2 and got really crappy framerate (and this is on a SLI 8800GT setup). Reverted to the previous betas and the problems went away.

Really, "latest drivers" hardly ever equates to "greater performance," at least when it comes to nVidia. More often than not, it just means "more problems."
I'm running SLI 8800GT's and the latest beta drivers work great in every game.
