Alrigh I experimented with the Adaptive power Management option an this is what happens.
WHen playing the new Tales of Monkey Island, only one GPU in GTX 295 clocks down to 2D mode. the other runs at 3D levels.
But when playing the old Quake II both GPUs work at 2D clocks. Very nice.
And when watching movies with Media Player Classic Home Cinema using the shader filters, I find one GPU goes down all the way to 2D clocks while the other goes half way down.
All in this is fantastic. Even tho Crysis framerate has gone down 2 FPS think I'll stick with these purely cos of the power saving.
So if u wanna cut down on ur power bill when playing movies or low powered 3D games get these drivers.

Nvidia done somethin amazing after a long time. ATI try beat that.
