    I already installed that version.
    I had found some game stuttering with the previous version and some dropped packets in the pci lane resulting in lag.
    I hope this one fixes that.

    Drivers are basically the brain the controls the hardware and allows it to communicate to the software so basically a medium between the software and hardware. They release updates usually to fix/enhance the way it works and communicates. In most cases they will allow the graphics card to work smoother but you never know until you install them. Some work better than others and you just have to find the right one for your computer.

    I get burst of 350 - 400 FPS in game now since I installed these. I still get lower FPS in parts of maps where more is going on - around 100 - 125 though I average around 200 or so.

    The FPS though doesn't really mean much if you are only receiving so many packets of information from the server.

    I updated to these drivers and my jaw hit the floor.....I seen about a 30% increase in FPS....which leads me to believe that my last drivers had screwey SLI control.....I now hum around 270-350 FPS in game

    You've heard of Tier 1 and Seal team Six right?
    Were not those guys....were the 16TH.
