I've tested it already.  NV's performance claims seem legit.

Looks like a lot of games get a bump, I'll nab this for my 460.

Do the new drivers turn it into a good game?

I haven't really played DA2 yet.  After hearing Doug's initial feedback about how well DA2 plays with a pad, it was disappointing to find out that the PC version didn't have pad support.  Why would anyone want to play an action hack n slash with KB/M?

I get decent performance with everything maxed out and dx11 on my single 5870.

Very occasionally though, the game would just freeze and become unplayable for like 5-6 seconds. Does everyone get that? I think it has something to do with losing connection to the EA servers while playing that makes the game go all screwy.

Thats pretty much the only problem I get with the game. It's starting to affect cutscenes though. I think they never fixed the memory leak problem from DA1.
