And the old control panel is back :D

Well in a flash way, but its back to actually being able to work your way around easily...performance wise not sure what its like (sounds like Vista SLI gets a fair boost)

Nvidia site always spits me to older drivers because I've got a 7series card.

Anyone think I'll gain anything, apart from different control panel, by updating to these drivers.

84.21 = 4855 3Dmarks
93.81 = 4754 3Dmarks
165.01 = 4690 3Dmarks

They must just be optimized for Geforce 8 series.

For Geforce 7 or earlier, 84.xx drivers are still the best.
Cant comment on performance as have not run 3D mark on my machine
