    Ok so basically when I run crysis in dx10 mode using these drivers these weird white lines appear over most of the vegetation.

    I don't know whats up with these drivers because the trees and the dx10 mode of the demo worked fine with one of the 165 driver sets. Also, its odd because these drivers work better than the 165s on dx9 mode. The dx10 worked better and gave better frames on the 165 drivers, but the 169's give better preformance with the dx9 mode. Also, there are not white lines around the trees in dx9 with these drivers. anyone else have this problem?

    Dx 10 mode

    The drivers are like a day old. It's going to have some problems somewhere.

    They're in the same series, they just haven't ironed out everything yet. The 169.xx are like a week old.
