    I think 180.84 only improves GTA4 performance?

    I'm currently using 180.84 with no crashes yet, and Portal seems to run a little faster. Dox has a beta 180.84 at LV2Go if you want to try that. :)

    i have a x64 bit OS. Thing is that 180.70 gives me such a boost in games that i dont want to waste my time installing it and going throught the whole process. I have to apply my own NVCP Tweaks and blah blah blah....

    So i would like it if someone tested crysis or FC2 bench mark to test these 2 drivers against each other.

    Though as far as i know this Driver only improves GTA IV performance which in my opinion note even a 10 FPS increase should allow our 8800-9800m GPUS to max it out as they should.

    But ah well.

    SOMEONE BENCH THE DRIVER TO SEE IF IT IS WORTH INSTALLING FOR OTHER GAMES.

    thanks for replying SHAY

    I liked the 180.70 on my old FX and this little notebook. Dox is awesome.

    YES HE is.

    he is working on making his installer more "awesomer"

    DOX optimized drivers are going to look more professional.
