d00d, are the drivers really that great?

weren't they dated at the end of january? it's almost march now, and we haven't had an official release by nvidia.

55.56 does not seem to favor the 5700u series, in the firingsquad review, the 5700u only improved by 11% in unreal 2004, and actually DROPPED a frame or 2 in other games, like HALO.

yea, how does a driver that DROPS performance in a fairly new card considered beneficial?

I tried the 56.55s, got a little better performance on my GF4 Ti with the 53.03s

56.55 seemed to have better 2d image quality, that was about the only advantage.

A frame or two is within the margin of error for testing.
