Introduction

Official?

Funny thing happened on my way to work today, NVIDIA released official drivers. The newest set is called Detonator 6.50, bringing us up a little bit from 6.31 release. Naturally, we wanted to know if there were any performance differences. The following is a comparison between the 6.50 and 6.31 driver sets, running on both Intel and AMD machines. So without wasting anymore of your time - the tests!
