Word on the wire is that valance studios are working on these drivers as we speak, aiming at around a march 1st release date. There are claims that the modded version of these drivers could offer as much as a 15% global performance boost over nvidia's current stock drivers, the 67.66s. That is *insane*.
i remember with one of the 5x.xx driver releases, the 5800 had a 25%-40% increase across the board, this one isnt quite in that territory but its free speed to be had

incidently, i just tested 3dmark03.
previous score, 13,500 3dmarks stock GPU
new score, 14,700 3dmarks stock GPU
also, i havnt tested with far cry yet, so tell us what its like.
