I'm curious about this

NVIDIA FXAA Technology – shader-based anti-aliasing technology available from the NVIDIA Control Panel that enables ultra-fast anti-aliasing in hundreds of PC games. FXAA delivers similar quality to 4x multi-sample antialiasing (MSAA) but is up to 60% faster, enabling substantially higher performance in games. FXAA is supported on all GeForce 8-series and later GPUs. Note: This feature is disabled for games that already have built-in support for FXAA.

Unfortunately for me there is a bug in these so I can't enable all 3 monitors. I have to wait for the next version. These are beta after all.

Forget about FXAA if you have MSAA as an option (which you do in ROF). It is true that FXAA is better than nothing but MSAA offers way better image quality. And in ROF performance is not a major concern. So the slightly higher performance hit of MSAA is easily worth it.

check out this thread over at the RoF forums

It's a very in depth discussion of these drivers.
I'm using them and they are great!
Odd that you cant use them for 3 monitors...I think they are made for the 680 card which allows four monitors (and I'm looking to get a 3rd monitor for triple screen gaming...was planning on using these drivers).

well I actually have 4 monitors and the two 27" plus the 24" work fine, but the 3 27" with all the same connections don't work. But do work with the old 269.10 work with the 3 27". I hear it's a bug they know about. Thanks for the link

I like these drivers, but I cannot seem to get the FXAA to work with post-effects enabled.

I figured it out. I needed to set AA to "application controlled" in NV control panel.
