    8800GTS FPS drop, Driver issue i think, PLEASE help.

    Right so here's the story I wanted to see what effect having newer drivers would have on my gaming - I was originally running forceware 158.22 WHQL drivers. I ran a crysis demo bench and got a healthy 31.5fps average at 1280x1024 with custom medium/high settings. (Was up at 50fps on...
