Latest recommended driver for Crysis. Hopefully with boost some of those FPS up there.

BUT will probably make almost every other game you have crash like crazy.

Who knows?

Beta driver for GeForce FX, 6, 7, and 8 series GPUs.
Recommended driver for Crysis.
Several game and application compatibility fixes. Please read the release notes for more information on product support, features, driver fixes and known compatibility issues.

Probably will help mostly with 8 series. I find it ironic the 6 series is still being supported with these changes. I almost want to put my old card back in just to see the different the drivers make

I tried it last night. Runs great. no artifacts or anything

I upgraded to them. I didn't take any benchmarks before or after but looking at my average FPS in games, I've noticed no difference in performance at all, or anything else.

Installed and working fine.

It could have just been that map I was on, but in CSS the player model's shadows were passing through both sides of the walls/floors ect.

I am actually using the November 6ht Drivers these beta ones didn't work out to well for me made my Crysis game lag like crazy...

[L1qu1D]

I tried it and it actually ran like crap comparing to the officially released 169.02 driver. Not that the framerate was better or worse but the fps was stuttery.
