    No more having to mod the latest drivers to work with the current XPS systems. (I think, can't really test right now) If you have an nvidia GPU these should just work.

    This newest driver seems to have gotten rid of nearly all of the lag on the Crysis demo on 1600x900 with settings on very high.
