maybe out because vista sp1 has brought back the "driver has stopped responding" issue at least it has on my sli rig under vista64


I have now reverted to non sp1 and all is fine
 
I've run the tests again to make surem and the results are the same. These are deffo slower than 169.21 for me. Can anyone else varify?

I might try 3DM06 and see what happens there.....
 
Forceware 169.25 beta for vista 32/64 bit.

Will give these a whirl with my 8800.

I would doubt any increase in crysis until the first patch comes out although it would be nice to be wrong in this case.

Crysis framerate is up for me.
169.04
Average 37.43
Max 68.86

169.25
Average 44.90
Max 70.76

Just installed and had a quick "go" on certain levels on crysis where i always pay attention to what the frame rate is in certain areas using fraps and ive noticed with the same gfx settings as i used before, i am now getting a slight increase of 2 or 3 fps.

Not much yes, but with a game like crysis nearly maxed out every bit helps and i would have to agree then that there is a slight improvement fps wise with these 169.25's for vista 32-bit here.:)
