wow.. very nice article. i think there was only 1 benchmark in which the older driver scored higher..I thought beta drivers were bad, and not good to upgrade to. But i guess i got a whole new outlook to it, and i just might upgrade to the latest beta drivers.. :)also, is there a way to subscribe to articles to be notified when theres a new comment?..
