    You know I experienced the same thing, but I thought it was related to the Natural Mod.
    Guess not.Maybe 1.2 will fix that,hopefully.

    So I tried the patch out myself, there didn't seem to be any noticeable changes, but I did notice the single player locking up a couple times, which has never happened before............*is a bit worried*

    i think it's the beta driver. try an older driver and see if it fixes anything.

    I would but it worked perfectly fine with CoD4, so I don't see any reason to change anything, except the Crysis one considering that game is the one giving me grief, and it didn't increase performance, it was the same, just fixing some bugs I guess and adding some different attributes. I'd figure that Crytek would've maxed the games optimization out already, and I was more pressed to see the Nvidia Driver make things better, but it seems the same.......I'm not that worried though, not a big deal really because Battlefield 2 is my real obsession lately :D

    Nvidia's drivers are hit and miss - mostly miss. Just about all of the drivers they release are betas, which they are aparently too lazy to test and expect consumers like us to do it for them. It's sad.

    I'd recommend the 169.04, 169.21, or 169.28 drivers for Crysis. I heard the 174.12 drivers are good too but have not used them myself.

    174.16 allowed me to play all high at 1024x768, but I can game at 800x600 for over 23fps :D
    I can`t instal this stinkin patch either, I`ll do a ful reinstal later and compare with the non patched version.

    It made a very good improvement!

    I can play all high DX9 at 1440*900... thats whitout custom and tweaking!
    With 167.45 drivers btw...

    Any other recommended drivers? 169.04, 169.21, 169.28, 174.12 drivers are the ones chaz recommends... Which would be the best in your opinion?

    Anyone have a P-6831FX and get better results? If so how? As in drivers...
