[Calina]

been testing with aion for about 10hrs now and i havent seen any improvment

tested with both sli off and tri-sli on and about the same proformance

[Nattack]

on 6600GT, no known changes, the management software causes flashes which is annoying, and it reset all my settings. including, for some reason, my CRT (lol)'s dimensions.

Just tried installing this for my brother on his computer.

8300 Nvidia Card
2gigs
Intel Dual core
Windows XP 32-bit

Installed, and then restarted computer, now my computer won't even go past the boot screen. Any ideas?

EDIT: Meh nvm fixed.

These seem to work fine for me (9800 GTX). Pretty much stopped the clipping and random lag in FFXI.

[Baelorn]

Worked wonders for my 8600M.
