i think drivers for gf100 will improve, but not all that much... maybe 5% on average... cards that come out with a big delay usually already have the drivers tweaked for performance...
I never said they were perfect did i? 5%? strange how the new ATI drivers gave a good ~10% increase across the board for an old architecture. You could then argue as to why these improvements weren't in the drivers at release since its an old architecture, they have technically had years to perfect and tweak it, and yet the launch drivers for the 5870s were horrendous.

This is a completely new architecture, and you expect them to have drivers optimized in 6 months?! how long did it take for the g80 drivers to get tweaked and optimized, the move to USM/USA needed a lot of driver tweaks and optimization. The same can be said here as well, though not to such a great extent as the g70 -> g80 change over.

I'm starting to feel that you are just arguing and disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing and voicing your opinion. Some people might like larger displays simply cause they are older and their eyes get tired staring at smaller displays, or they prefer sitting further back from their screens. Yeh, SLI/crossfire is not a great gaming experience but they can simply turn off some eye candy on a single GPU and still have excellent framerates. High levels of AA at such a high resolution is not as essential as it is at lets say 1680x1050.
