    Thanks Narsnail... feel like I'm back home with my 6860 owners again!

    Does CUDA improve Crysis' performance?

    this is cuda

    these drivers give a good boost in most games, about 3-5 FPS in Crysis warhead I noticed.

    Ah, the only reason I asked was because I knew Crysis used the CUDA technology. (I'm not one of those "OMGZORZ I needzz Crysiz on MAX!!!1!1!" guys)
