Sry nekrosoft13. I searched on the first two or three pages for "185.56" and didn't see anything. :(

But no wonder... because it didn't mention,

"Up to 22% performance increase Crysis: Warhead with antialiasing enabled" !!! :D (http://www.neoseeker.com/news/10407-nvidia-releases-185-68-beta-driver-/)

I just tried it and it works perfect. I had been bottoming out in the lower 30's FPS and now after using this driver I bottom out in the lower 40's! Average and Max frames are also +22%!!! w00t!

(I'd always noticed that Crysis was at least 15% faster than Warhead. I bet they just implemented fixes already used in drivers for crysis. ;))

i tried these drivers in warhead without AA and it made no difference in FPS over the 182 series

I guess without AA on, the driver's AA fix aint going to speed nothing up.;)

Once again Nvidia is showing their Driver abilities. This is amazing if all the improvements are true.

Was already the with 185.65 and it's true. I tested it. It's a strange experience the game is running smooth now :D

I'd always noticed that Crysis was at least 15% faster than Warhead with my 280 and 295. I bet they just implemented fixes Warhead in this Driver that they'd already used in drivers for Crysis.

All I know is it's absolutely awesome that both games run at the same FPS now!:jumping:

Crysis is faster to (5-6%). With jmanrob's extreme quality config (for some strange reason it's faster, I tweaked some things though) and these drivers to holy grail is finally in hand, the game is smooth in dx10 with :dance:

Nvidia controlling how your hardware runs is more like it. The next driver release might slow things down. But I'm still waiting for an SLI/microstuttering fix for games like Crysis/Warhead, Far Cry 2, and GTA 4 that experience serious stuttering when SLI is enabled. And in crysis with SLI, these random textures/polygons appear or the sky will flicker randomly. Anyone ever experience these anomalies in Crysis with SLI?

Crysis and SLI looks and runs perfect for me. Then again I've been out of the SLI loop for 2 years and now you mention microstutter I'll notice it and you'll be to blame. ::p:

I'm running 2x260GTX BTW.

I played Crysis War Head on Monday at with CPU stock speeds. (2XAA and everything else at the Highest possibly settings.) It appeared to have the so called "Micro Stuttering". Today I put my CPU back to 3.95GHz, and there was zero so called "Micro Stuttering".:D(nana2):D(nana2):D(nana2):D(nana2):D(nana2):D
