Alrighty, I took Dysfunctional's advice and went to Guru3d and downloaded Nvidia's Detonator Drivers version 23.11. And, when idle, I gain 30 FPS on top of my 60, making it 90, and in intense battles it gives me 15 FPS, adding on to my 15-20, giving me 30-35!!! This is amazingly simple, yet weird. So, I suggest you all give this a try, and see how it works for you. BTW, I have EVERY Setting up max EXCEPT for Very High texture quality. My Specs are listed in my sig. Tell me your results!!

3dchipset.com has links to newer ones. I also highly suggest you get RivaTuner from guru3d.com too, a new version was released today. Can adjust a great amount of opengl settings with that.

I'm not sure!. i seems a bit smoother on the whole, there are still lots of choke points in the game. and i dont mean chopper or usual bad choke points. i mean if you look at the corner of a Lab or a brick wall in the wrong way!!. I am seeing more 60FPS moments though I THINK!!. i'ts hard to tell. we need a SoF2 benchmark. I recomend Keshtash, Antisnipe and DynaGod trying these drivers though. they ain't that old in the sceme of things. new dets are leaked with monotonous regularity...

newer drivers does not always mean better performance, in fact a lot of the time i find that newer drivers actually decrease your performance, i had the 12.11 drivers and when upgraded to 24.12 i lost 200 3dmarks
