    My 3d score dropped 42 points and it was slow and choppy in COD4 compared to 177.41

    hmm might try these, however I run 177.66 currently and with this driver I have amazing performance. Gears of War doesn´t stutter at all with them for instance :)

    Hey there mokylim. I play CSS competitively and i must say it runs like a dream! with proper drivers and little OC, i can run game full high /w Vsync 4xAA and 16x AF

    Without Vsync i max out the game completely..

    cheers :)
