If your'e just interested in Crysis 177.40's...

I slated these before for once again not offering any performance... however, I've just ran a crysis benchmark to test for something... and got:

Run #1- DX9 1900x1200 AA=No AA, 32 bit test, Quality: High ~~
Overall Average FPS: 33.28

Which is up from 27-28fps tops... I know it's nothing spectacular, and still doesn't make the game anymore playable, but that's a big performance increase that with the 177.40's...

Infact it's around 21% performance increase... makes me wonder what other games have been "optimised"...

Like I say, I personally didn't think they added anything, but running Crysis by luck has now shown quite an increase so, if you want some extra fps, give them a whirl!

Im about to reinstall windows mate so I'll give it a go with my GTX after that! Nice to see a boost in Crysis God knows we need it!

what drivers did you have before? I am using the 177.35 so not really sure if I should bother

For some reason those drivers absoloutely kill SLI on my GX2 my Crysis scores are awful in DX9 with them but then are fine in DX10..


Only in Crysis though other games seem fine..

Used the 175.16's as they were the most stable and quickest... haven't tried anything newer due to CNBA syndrome
