Hmm it would be interesting to test them as they say it gave them 4 fps boost in Crysis.
Considering the fact that Crysis doesn't run with very high fps, 4 fps could actually mean a lot. (i.e. if it run before on 20 fps, 4 fps boost would mean a 20% performance increase, lol

).

Anyway, if someone will spot them somewhere (leaked obviously), please post a link

I saw that article, it still has some issues with dx9c, but lot of dx10 improvements. We just have to wait -_- like usual.

I hope AA works for every thing and not some things and not other things.

It is interesting to see the list of cards at the end of the article. G92-100 and some others are listed that are not currently available.

I don't know what Hilbert has against these sites. Remove the extra dash: http://*************/articles/NVIDIA...ew/5491-3.html

Is the difference of Min. 2 FPS something to be excited about? I suppose any improvement is a step in the right direction. Just wish they had longer legs

Well, a increase is till an increase in fps.
Sure, they could make drivers with bigger steps, but it would be far longer between the releases.
And not to mention.
Pumping FPS in crysis isn't all.

I'd rather see better optimized drivers in general.
Better IQ.
More stable drivers.
And a fix for the goddamn black and white issue with tv-out with componentcables.
and so on, and so on.

Dude you better take that link down before you get banned. Hilbert doesn't like them because they break NDAs. Or that's what I assume.

Could be, but I doubt I'll get banned over it. It's such a trivial issue.

I'll be more careful, but what's the big deal? Is what I did such an unforgivable sin? We're talking about Forceware drivers for Christ's sake...
