"Dishonored" - Why is this game even in the driver notes? It's not out yet.

Same reason Diablo 3 is, same reason many games are in the notes; nV (AMD, whoever..) obviously have access to the pre-release code and are tweaking their drivers for performance.

Still no SLI support for Alan Wake. RAGE!!!
Way to go Remedy/Team Green!
Then again, it's my fault for being a dumb-ass and opting for two 460's instead of a single 480. Last time I'll ever make that mistake. SLI works great, but all too often it's not supported until well after I'm done with a game.
How's performance on these compared to the previous?

Damned, my control panel is in Dutch because regional settings on my PC are set to Dutch. And no option to change language. Best I can find is deleting some fucking DLL files from System32?

Why do you have you regional settings other than English? It has always been problematic. Just set it to English and tweak some regional params to suit you.

Because of some keyboard shortcuts as well as currency settings and such. Why bother with setting it to English and then changing just about every single value if the regional setting is enough?
Nvidia should just include a fucking option for the language, period
As for the fix: delete just about every DLL that ends in *r.dll where there's also a counterpart that doesn't end in r.dll - so nv123r.dll can be deleted as long as nv123.dll exists. Dumbass implementation

It's not just nV, a lot of apps use that and fuck things up. Hebrew is still easy, because not many bother with Heb translations, but a more popular language would just be unbearable. That's why I always have it set to en_US.

I've got my entire Windows regional settings set to en_UK, but the keyboard layout and timezone/currency set to NO. Works out so much better that way.

I can't get the 301 drivers to install. I extracted, replaced INF. Now what?

Adaptive vsync isn't ready for prime time I think. I experienced stutters and tears that aren't there with vsync ON. Fuck it.

It supposed to decide whether to cap your frame rate or not according to current FPS. If FPS is below refresh rate of your monitor, it is off, if above, it is on.

I had none of that Leo. It might just be because the driver isn't technically intended for Fermi

Because normal V-Sync means either 60 or 30 frames displayed (the game may and most likely WILL be rendering more than 30). Adaptive V-Sync only enables V-Sync if you're at >= 60 FPS. Below that it'll disable, rather than resorting to displaying 30 frames.

But won't it mess up the mouse input anyway?
