The patch works great in DX9 mode but DX10 still causes BSOD's. You also have to mess around with some setting in the nVidia control panel to make the game run. SLI now works like a charm. DX9 High Settings with 4xAA now plays like COD4. DX10 at those setting is playable but doomed to crash within a few minutes.
