Good to see older GPUs are supported as well.
 
Feature list on these is massive. The gains in most of the games used by benchmarks are also very nice!
 
Yeah loving the the FXAA option, really benefits those with older cards that can't afford to use MSAA.

Great write up on the drivers as well.
 
Nice little Easter Egg for this weekend...;)

Are these beneficial for the new 680's or just bringing the last Gen upto speed?

Nice article btw.

Edit.. Never mind. Just re-read the article......
 
Now this makes the GTX 580 and 570 pretty superb value for money at their current prices of £199 for a GTX 570 and £299 for a GTX 580 at OcUK. :D
