    lol Big bang drivers. Those drivers will probably make your DDR3 transform into DDR5. Maybe some voodoo magic in it and the GPU duplicates itself...

    That is an actual term peiople use for THE driver that is refined and finally makes the cards come alive after a new high perforkance card is released. GTX2xx cards are already showing some substantial gains from drivers. It's a serious matter, and it makes it alot of difference after these drivers are tweaked. No it won't grow new RAM, or a GPU, but it does give better performance.

    Its good you have already tested these drivers and come up with these conclusions. Could you please should me actual benchmark numbers?

    Assuming you aren't talking out of your you know what of course

    I see what I see, and you see what you see. I can't make you see what I see, but I can tell you what I see is not what you see. Truth is, we see what we want to see, and what we want to see is what those around us see. And what we don't see is... well, conspiracies.

    You must not be an Nvidia card user, otherwise you would have tried the 178.13/178.15 drivers and seen the very notable increase in performance in a number of games.

    If the 180xx continues this trend, then Nvidia will definitely increase the gap between itself and ATI, particularly in the single GPU department.

    The latest drivers put me over 15K in vantage for the first time with my Q6600, and single 280.

    They are indeed getting faster. I expect good things from Big Bang II.

    I also look foward to the 350, or GX2 card. I will be using the 350 for graphics, and current 280 for dedicated PhysX.

    Providing we get some new PhysX games, it should make for a decent rig...
