I'll install it tonight and report back on the weekend after seeing how it handles Crysis. I wonder if there are even tweaks in it or simply just a game profile for Crysis.

How did it run in DX9 Koala? I'd imagine it would be a lot smoother.

I love it how they say read the release notes for further info and THERE ARE NO RELEASE NOTES for at least 3 releases now.
Also that I must have signed for the email from nvidia about their releases at least 5 times and have yet to receive emails from them...and yes, I do check my "spam" folder.

I noticed that too a few releases ago, the release notes followed a week or two afterwards. I think they just don't bother when many drivers are being released in a short period of time. They'll wait until they've got them all out then post the notes.
