    You fail, and it's not surprising. People stuck in their comfort zone and never try to learn anything else always get laughed at. (Yes, your other comment in the P-II thread is equally hilarious.)

    lmfao. If only you knew kid..

    Listen. The multi-threading of the driver won't buy as much as you think, especially given that quad-core systems already have completely idle cores sitting there currently with the majority of games.

    Not at all. It was not multi-threading, it was general performance optimizations, the kind that will keep coming from both camps every few months.

    Sure I know this. There is no changelog, no.

    If you want to see though you can compare CPU utilization over a set benchmark to see if the relative load between cores has changed at all pre and post big-bang II drivers.

    I just looked too.

    I was hoping they'd list it. I'm still considering this as an upgrade vs the 285.

    This preview isn't good at all. In Warhead this 10fps difference between 1650x1080 with 4xAA and NoAA is BS.
