I just purchased a GTX 470 as a replacement for my 8800GT, and I usually get my drivers from Guru3d(I should also mention I'm running Windows 7 x64). While in the drivers section I noticed the Forceware 197.77 Win 7 | Vista 64-bit WHQL being the newest WHQL drivers however it said that the 400 series is not properly supported so I went with ForceWare 257.15 Win 7 | Vista 64-bit Beta instead. I'm wondering if there are actually any WHQL drivers for the 400 series at this time. I know that the Forceware 197.75 drivers say they are, but in the notes I read "This is a beta driver update for GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470 ." I haven't had that much time to try out the card (so these drivers may be fine) but I'm looking to avoid any potential crashes or poor performance from running a beta driver.
What driver would you recommend for this card?
And another thing, I have an sli motherboard, is there anything I can do with my old card? I would probably have to upgrade my psu in order to do that, but just wondering.
Check nVidia's website?

Wow, that took a whole 10 seconds.
That driver is identical to the 197.55 drivers, though with beta support for the 400 series which I wanted to avoid. It looks like there's no actual whql drivers yet specifically for the 400 series.
After reading some in the forums it looks like they actually updated the driver to whql certification, though forgot to update the download page. Sorry for that, though if anyone could shed light on my second question I'd appreciate that.
there are whql drivers, they come with your cd as well
go get the 256 drivers, they aren't that buggy and they are the best ones to use
