Nvidia Forceware 196.75

Nvidia just released the Forceware 196.75 driver for Windows XP, Vista and 7, for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200 and ION series cards. The release notes are below the fold, but the most important news is that the driver should provide performance improvements - and add SLI and multi-GPU support - for Bad Company 2, among several other games (EDIT: that includes Mass Effect 2, which also gets anti-aliasing support).
