Very good performance boost with Very High settings!

I did some tests under Vista x32:
- UT3 runs smoother, I can play with 32 bots and FSAA in the Deck map without any framerate drop now
- Bioshock still has crappy performances when V-Sync is enabled
- GoW still stuttering, but seems to appear less frequently
- CoD 4 runs very good, totally stable and smooth! (I used to get random crash with SLI enable)
- Hellgate London SLI issues are gone, and the game doesn't crash anymore randomly when you talk to a shop
Another Reports :

The only level that gives me slight trouble still are the last and the pilot section level. Pretty pleased overall. All other games run smoothly anyway so cant really tell the diff. Nicely done NV :d
