Anyone tried these drivers with CSs? not much good for me - its like being on lsd
Ok got Fraps to do a screen grab every 5 seconds... after looking at all the screenshots I realised Farcry 2 really isn't the best game to use for comparisons (it never runs 'exactly' the same... i.e. I've got a chicken in 1 screen shot, at exact same time on the second run not a chicken in sight..)
I noticed some shading around some bolders/rocks but seriously it's not worth a 30% drop... I'll try some more games later/tomorrow...
The best example of Ambient Occlusion was on this page http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-275-review-test/6
The Performance increase in the drivers is nice but I'm still waiting for a 'detonator' type improvement...
@mr griffin - yep CSs reminds me of my youth...
Half-Life 2 Episode 2 working ok, good old beta's...

quick heads up, noticed the comment about Physx Pack #3 in the beta drivers... just downloading the "Sacred 2 Physx Patch" - as if seeing my system crawl using Ambient Occlusion wasn't enough - looks like I'm gonna have to nick my misses 9800gtx+ for dedicated Physx...

Thought it was just me when it came to the recent drivers. Anything above 181 and I've had problems. First off GTA performance went down the pan, even though they were supposed to improve things, so I've ignored the last release or two.
Just tried these and fired up The Last Remnant. I now have stuttering and slowdown where it was fine before, so I guess it's back to the 181's for me.
