Kamakazi Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Going from 174-180.43 raised my FPS in Far Cry 2 by almost 15 on DX10-Very High-0xAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I take it these beta drivers offer better in-game performance, but don't yet have the promised support for a dedicated GPU for PhysX acceleration? That's probably the big thing I'm waiting for with the 180.xx release. I wonder how much of an impact that'll make in GRAW2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean ?.... PhysX support has been in the drivers since 177.83 (for GeForce 8-series, 9-series and 200-series GPUs ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
