Advertised with up to a 25% performance boost with FSAA and other features enabled. Interesting.

UPDATE:
Back from minor benching...My 3DMark2001SE Score jumped from 10500 to 11600!

There seems to be a disagreement between the drivers and RivaTuner-Rivatuner can't set the resolution properly.

These drivers have a new layout. Anisotropic filtering is available under Direct3D.

The only 25% performance boost showing up is in 3DMark2001SE benchmark. :rolleyes:

No kidding, I benched before and after and lost 152 marks with the new drivers. :bawl:
