You will get a huge gain in both DA2, The Witcher 2 and some alright gains in some other games such as L4D2 and Crysis.

dmxdex2020 · 17 May 2011 at 19:21

Does the 470 get these game improvements too?

KiiYzOo · 17 May 2011 at 19:22

where is the page telling you what cards get increases and by how much?

{SAS}TB · 17 May 2011 at 21:40

Here ?

KiiYzOo · 17 May 2011 at 21:48

I can't seem to find how much fps boost I would gain

mattjd · 17 May 2011 at 22:04

They only do the major ones.

But you will see a gain in fps compare current benchmarks/ results when you get the new drivers.

KiiYzOo · 17 May 2011 at 22:17

I think ill do it once I get a new monitor and a couple new games

CaptainFail! · 17 May 2011 at 23:14

Just installed these, seem to make BC2 run noticeably better and with less FPS drops, not noticed any temperature increases either. So far I'm liking these a lot!

(GTX 280 + Q6600 3.2GHz just so you know!)
