    He's the deal. nvidia loves lies. They love making 10-40% claims. You may see performance in a specific game, but that'll all be because they messed it up in their drivers and now they're fixing it.

    177.85 is what I'm using right now, seems to do best, but I haven't used the newest 180.48 you are referring to. If a game you play a lot is on the list of games affected, it's worth going up.
