:o

Improved Performance with older cpu's sounds nice :D , mostly quad cores though
 
Is there much improvement over the 260.63 beta?

I'm quite surprised that this is another beta, there hasn't been a WHQL released now for nearly 3 months!
 
Well done ATI kids, you managed to bite your tongues for a while this time.

But remember, none of you go into Nvidia driver threads ;)

There's always a start.
But im sure it will subside when more NV users admit that NV drivers are not perfect In threads other than NV driver threads.

My comment is very tongue & cheek & will not fool anyone in to thinking anything other than its point of facts that NV drivers are not perfect.

I laughed in BC2 when my Q9550 even at 4GHz was beyond 85% per core and that's with a GTX460 as well.

Roll on the older CPU performance fix NAO!


Not really a huge issue as the game looks and runs super for me, just that high a core usage results in higher cpu temps and my fan throttles up, I prefer quiet gaming :p
 
Just tried the 260.89 betas that are up, I don't know if its my but they feel slower in BC2, I will have to have another look later after work.
