Currently using two 550ti's myself, never had any issues with them until i brought the drivers up to date. Roll back a couple drivers and should be ok.

Thanks for the reply, Targus.
You're saying if that, if I don't update the drivers it should be ok.
Why two 550 ti? I have only one.

I run in SLI for some games, and use one for dedicated physX for others (planetside 2, it makes a difference) Upgrading to a 760 GTX tonight though
