Ya I saw this on guru3d sadly I can't test it (i'm running win 7 here) but these drivers are supposed to drastically speed up NFS shift, I can't wait for that. Hopefully we'll get some 9.12 beta drivers for win 7 soon.

Would be nice to see if there is some kind of speedup across the board as well.

yeah, I find it surprising they seem to be developing for XP first

would I be wrong in assuming these drivers are being tuned primarily for the 5000 series? These new cards are clearly targeted towards gaming enthusiasts, the sort that will be running at least 4GB of ram and thus would most likely be running Vista x64 or 7 x64

XP still has 70% of the Windows market share. Its dropping, but that's still where the bulk of the customers are.

Any idea when the 9.12 might be brought over to Win 7, even a beta version?

oh I don't doubt that one bit

what I do doubt is the need to aggressively update drivers for systems that most likely do not fit the profile for what I believe they're focusing the drivers on (the 5000s)
