Wbat are people gonna argue about if these drivers work as intended?

Good to see a date was set at least.

I figure next gen consoles are taking away some members of the driver team(s) currently.

Same things they did before it was truly exposed.

I need this :(

Guess I will have to deal with the horrible stuttering for 1 more month....

Thats pretty awesome. This should boost people's confidence in going crossfire. What I can't understand is why Nvidia hasen't been blasting this out in the open as a marketing strategy...or did I just miss it?

No one would take something directly from Nvidia, and take it serious. On the other hand, several review sites have been using frame capture and FCAT to analyze it, and this has been made a big deal.

You mentioned frame pacing. Frame pacing is a multi-GPU concept, so I thought that was what you were referring to.

well, let's just hope the performance with the drivers isn't sacrificed (at least not too much) with the fix

Nice. I may just keep my 7970 after all, and buy another after this driver release, that is, if it works.

This driver will also be the memory re-write?

Mighty good question. We haven't heard anything about that since January. It was the proposed solution to the single card microstutter issues found on the 7950. While they fixed it in specific games this particular aspect was found to be a general problem.

With no mention of it I am guessing its not in this one. Hopefully this driver will finally fix AMD's problem, but without the GC fix I wonder how competitive it will be.

Nvidia knows it's going to get fixed, and I'm sure they don't want to end up with their foot in their mouth if AMD ends up doing a better job than Nvidia at minimizing frame latency.
