I always use the newest beta drivers with my dual GTX 460's and I've never had a problem with FFXI, maybe a tiny dip here or there in port.

I have a gtx670 and it's a pain in the *** with ffxi and ffxiv. FFXIV it crashes every so often, just enough to be annoying but hasn't interrupted any leves yet. Tried multiple different drivers and other "solutions" all to no avail. FFXI was worse, every time I cast magic fruit or a few other spells (or every time anyone else cast them) it would crash. The solution to that was to turn off shadows and weather...

Shadows and all details on max setting
Nvidia control panel is set to only utilize one GPU under SLI rendering mode. Everything else is default

Any driver version 266.58 and newer works well with XI framerate-wise, at least with the cards I tested. The only problem with them is that Anisotropic filtering doesn't work, so the texture quality is bad. For best image quality you need to use driver versions 169.17 to 185.85. The performance is much worse with those drivers though, plus they only work with cards up to the 200-series. Cards tested were 7800GTX, 7900GTX, GTS250, and GTX280 using windows XP-32bit. Turning on full shadows has a significant performance impact with all configurations.
