I know anandtech had the story up a while back about when AMD released new performance drivers that made them a way better value than Nvidia and had graphs showing it. But are they ever going to update the bench section with the new ones so we can actually compare them properly? No website seems to have a comparison between them with the latest drivers.

No website will ever have a comparison with the latest drivers because both companies have been updating the drivers on a monthly or even weekly basis. Every website that has done an updated test has gotten burned when new drivers came out for one company or the other within days.

They dont have to update them every release but it would be nice if they did a 6 months later update for people who are shopping for GPUs.

Never looked in the forums on here so figured the mods might be some of the people who do benches or whatever.

And i dont mean every driver update, but when they release some with a big performance upgrade, then it would be nice

Agreed, the old bench results are misleading.

OP, GPU Editor Ryan Smith responds here sometimes, maybe he'll chime in.

GPU Bench 2013 will be going live this month, so you'll see new data then.:)

Sweet! Can you tell us which driver versions you'll be using for the 2013 bench? Also, will you have Crossfire/SLI benchmarks for all of the newer gen cards too?

GeForce Titan and all the other HD7000/GTX600 cards retested using the latest drivers? Hopefully Crysis 3 replaces Crysis 2 in the bench. ;)

Uh, want that game out already! My phenom 2 960t and gtx470 can get very high settings (max in demo, will it be max in release too?) withought AA and AF, but on my 19" @1280x960, it looks fine withought them? Already got it on preorder and got a new QcK heavy for my theron which helped a lot.
