Okay! Here it is!

Okay guys, as far as score is concerned, the new detenator drivers will apparently not make much of a difference. (At least where my system is concerned...specs below) BUT!!! Where these drivers make a HUGE difference is with the polygon and high polygon rendering. I had an improvement of 7.7 million triangles on the 1 light test and 2.1 million on the 8 light test. Also there appears to be a definate improvement in Environment Bump Mapping and with the advanced pixel shader. Check it out. (The first link is w/the new drivers, second is with the 2311's, both times the card and system are oc'd the same)
