These 181.20 drivers are awful. Tons of negative reports.
Specifically UT3 and Fallout 3 have major problems with them.

I like how the nvidia logo at the top of the release notes is a poorly compressed jpg image that somewhat damages the perception of a high quality graphics company.

OK I can't believe I read the entire release notes.

But what comes to mind for me is if you use SLI, you are dealing with application, game, display issues--and paying dearly for it--that no single graphics card owner ever experiences. And this has been going on how many years now?

Is that Age of Empires, as in the Original? I'm guessing its for AOE3, but if not, that's hilarious. I think the game topped out at 1024x768. I remember my monitor at the time didn't support that, but in the demo, you couldn't change the resolution, so I forced to play with the bottom third of the display super-imposed on the top third. Heh heh. Such is the dedication of a youthful gamer.
