I grabbed the Crysis demo and had to get the beta drivers that went with them, ensuring I had a restore point and convinced they would hose up my lovingly tweaked 1946.Wow-oh-wow, am I keeping these drivers. A really, really big jump in fps with max settings (including SLI), no black circle woes, and everying just dead sexy. Crysis thread in the Community Hall: http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2364291#Post2364291Give them a try - I am truly amazed at the improvements (XP SP2, 7900's in SLI).

That's the 169.01 driver? I've tried other 1xx drivers and never found them to be of a real benefit to my NV 7950 GT, but if they are better on your 7900's, then perhaps these are worth a try.

RDDR, I'm using the 297.92 NGO, I was waiting for you to try them and tell us!

I wish I'd taken that bird's advice! My AA and AF settings now have no effect at all.

Tried both the 169.01 and 169.09 with my GeForce 7900GS TOP. The latter was by far the fastest with AVG 6 more FPS then the 162.18. Forests shimmered like mad though and the water =2 had also some kind of shimmering. This with 16xAF 4xAA. I figured it had to do with the LOD bias but whatever I tried with nHancer or nVHardPage, I could not get rid of it. With LOD bias Allow setting the drivers were 6 FPS faster than with the Clamp setting with which the speed was comparable with the 162.18 drivers. The 169.01 gave me massive stuttering, had the same shimmering problems as the 169.09 and were not nearly as fast.
I decided after that to try out the NGO drivers I heard so much about and decided on the 1.16.218. I find them to be the best that I've tried so far. IQ is very good and the speed is about 3.5 FPS higher than the 162.18.
I am using XP home by the way.
Hope this is of any use...
