    Kinda pointless since there's no patch for Crysis yet.

    Hopefully someone can get some release notes for these, see if there are any other fixes.

    I'm mostly hoping for a fix for X3:Reunion.

    I just installed these and ran only quick test using Aquamark 3, I got a score 79,915 which is my highest score with any driver to date and considering my hardware is pretty darn good. I will update with Lightsmark later.

    Update: Lightsmark was 82.4 a tiny bit faster than before.

    Conclusion: Both D3D and OpenGL seemed to have been improved marginally.

    Im thinking that the patch might hit today if these drivers are designed with this patch in mind.

    Chuck Norris, does not subscribe to Fileplanet, Fileplanet subscribes to Chuck Norris :) hehe


    Seriously, I hate these subscription services where free means World wide wait for downloading and paid means expensive crap one can get elsewhere a few days later for free...

    Great news, if only the patch would be out already (as I hope it will improve something more than just SLI performance)... Does anybody have the link for English only version? Don't have Vista installed ATM, but would gladly test them under XP :)

    EDIT: Nevermind, managed to get them myself :D
    Links, is someone's interested in English only versions:

    XP x32
    XP x64 - not available yet
    Vista x32
    Vista x64

    Anyone can modified the inf to include a 8400 GO? I look in the post to modify the inf but it didn't appear in the list.
