Nella rete da alcuni giorni circolano i driver Forceware 81.26 Beta, primi driver della prossima generazione di release Revision 80.
VR-Zone mostra alcuni test che mettono in mostra le prestazioni dei nuovi driver in campo SLI e Dual Core. Di seguito alcuni test:
3D Mark05 Single Card Mode
3D Mark 05 Dual Card Mode
DooM 3
Vedendo questi test possiamo notare come vi sia un miglioramento in test sintetici come 3DMark05 con sistemi Dual Core e configurazione Dual Card SLI. In DooM 3 invece notiamo risultato simili nel confronto tra processori Single e Dual Core, ma un gran boost prestazionale rispetto ai driver 77.72.
