180 series drivers bring massive performance boost to gtx 280. Up to 43%

I wouldn't usually consider this news worthy, but its gains are big enough to make you consider changing cards for.

I was looking if OBR put his gigabyte ex58 extreme review up and instead I found this.

Shocked at performance increase across the board.

Bioshock see's a 33%+ performance increase.
Call of duty 4 14%
Call of duty 5 3%
Company of heroes 11% increase.
Crysis warhead 10%
Dead space 6%
Devil may cry 5%
Brother in arms 15%
Enemy territory 42%
Fallout 3 16%
Left for dead 3%
Grid 8% 55% in sli
Mass effect 12%
Stalker clear sky 43%
UT3 19%

There were noticeable decreases in performance in
Half life ep 2 -12% -3% sli.
Far cry 2 -10% However SLI saw 20% increase.

If these performance results are true and since I am going to core i7 which hates crossfire(its also the resolution I game at), it makes me regret going AMD.

If these improvements are carried over to the gtx 260 216 and maybe gtx 260, it probably going to make the 4870 lose across the board aside from Grid.
